What we believe
greentravelguides.tv believe everybody has a fundamental right to travel but we all have a responsibility to care for our beautiful world.
We should be alert to the impact our travel has on the environment and other people, from the moment we click 'search' or pick up the phone to the time we finally arrive home.
The way we get there, where we stay, where we buy our souvenirs and even our choice of drinks at the beach bar... everything we do has a knock-on effect upon the environment and the local community.
The films we make at greentravelguides.tv are not just about eco-tourism destinations, where you'd expect to see rural communities, wildlife and natural beauty. We believe all tourism should be sustainable, and that can apply in the heart of the city, too, or at a beach resort. As far as we can, we want to bring green, responsible tourism into focus in each of our programmes, whether we're covering Antarctica, Beijing or Cancun.
Green travel isn't always the easiest option. Where we think more can be done, we say so. Where it's already working, we celebrate the fact. We hope the combination of campaigning and celebrating comes across in every film we make.
