Feeling guilty about
travelling? We’ve got
tips aplenty to help
youtravel green p“Does Wanderlust feature ‘green’travel?” is
a question I am frequently asked, to which my
answer is that it is a key part of our DNA. But it is
heartening to see so many people wakening to the
impact of travel and the negative e ects that some
tourism can have. Over-tourism for instance, is
becoming a huge issue in some cities.
Yet there are still many more places that are crying out for visitors. On
page 50, I visit Guyana, where eco-tourism is helping preserve wildlife,
forest and communities; parts of Iceland have become a honeypot,
but a new route highlights little visited areas (p88); and I doubt many
people have thought to put São Tomé and Príncipe on their bucket list
(p134). We have also looked at some of the choices we have to make
when travelling (p66) and how to ensure they are the right ones.
Elsewhere, we highlight the winners of the Travel Photo of the Year
competition (p116), many of them guaranteed to get your feet itching.
So, enjoy your travels – and travel well.Lyn Hughes
