These days, many folks are doing their bit to protect the environment and positively impact their communities. Keeping up these good habits can be challenging when they are on the road. The little challenges — like the feeling every community has different guidance for recycling, being unsure about whether they’ll be able to refill reusable water containers, lack of information on local needs and concerns — discourage good behaviors.
Destination marketing and management organizations (DMOs) and other organizations encourage responsible travel by providing information on local resources so that visitors can keep up good habits on vacation. They may even provide opportunities for visitors to support local social and environmental initiatives.
