If you’d like to plan an eco-friendlier, sustainable trip this year, you might consider sticking closer to home to cut down on your carbon footprint. However, there are ways to make an upcoming vacation more sustainable while also traveling to your favorite, far-flung destinations.
If you’re traveling specifically to Fiji, opting to stay at one of the destination’s eco-friendly resorts, as well as booking activities with sustainably focused tour providers, can make a difference.
At Six Senses Fiji, for example, the resort offers an array of sustainability programs. The property grows its own organic food, produces its own drinking water in a desalination plant and generates 100 percent of its energy with an on-site, off-grid solar installation (which also happens to be one of the largest off-grid solar installations in the Southern Hemisphere!).
Looking for an eco-friendly tour provider? Talanoa Treks is a sustainable hiking and trekking company that will take you to remote villages for unique cultural experiences, while paying close attention to carbon footprints and leaving a positive impact on the environment and peoples. For a sustainable tour experience with a voluntourism slant, book an expedition with Think Pacific, which offers expeditions for students and young professionals, lasting anywhere from 16 days to multiple months, with focuses on areas in Fiji in need.
