What eco-friendly destinations for your travels in 2022?

As every year, the return of good weather, longer days and approaching holidays give everyone the desire for a getaway. And that’s quite normal: the world around us is so beautiful that it would be a shame to settle for holidays at home (even if the staycation trend also has something to offer). After two particularly complicated years in terms of travel, all the signs now seem to be positive for taking off and discovering new destinations. And there’s no reason to be stingy, because, as we’ve said, planning eco-friendly holidays is possible. And it’s becoming increasingly common! So pack your bags, we’ve got some ideas for destinations to try as soon as possible!

Sustainable tourism or eco-tourism, an inevitable trend in 2022

Year after year, month after month, the way the general public travels is evolving. Engaging in protecting the diversity of the planet and fighting to preserve wildlife is the principle of what is now Famous Earth Day, With an 2019 edition in particular that had everything to appeal to travelers in the heart of nature by highlighting endangered natural areas. But this can no longer be done just once a year. At a time when the future of the planet is more important than ever, it is on a daily basis that ecology must be integrated into the heart of our way of living and consuming. And many travelers have understood this.

According to various studies on the subject, more and more French people think about the environment when they go on vacation, as long as it doesn’t cost too much. And this is especially true among the younger generation, who are now making eco-responsible travel a priority. For this target group, polluting means of transport, accommodations that consume too much energy, or mass tourism activities that are too environmentally friendly are a thing of the past! But where exactly can one go to enjoy green holidays?

Costa Rica, the number one destination

Everyone who has already been to Costa Rica can tell you that the country is a model for ecotourism. In recent decades, Costa Rica has completely revised its policy and has more than ever reconnected with nature. In practice, more than a quarter of the country is now a protected area, including several national parks created to protect and preserve the wildlife and flora. Moreover, Costa Rica has managed to increase its forest area by more than 31%. At the same time, the country has developed various environmental labels for tourism. In short, traveling to Costa Rica (even if it often requires taking a plane) is almost a guarantee of a well-planned vacation.

Iceland, a country very concerned with the environment

Another destination to prioritize for eco-tourism is Iceland, which immerses you in a wild and preserved nature, with breathtaking landscapes at every step of your journey: waterfalls, hot springs, volcanoes, cliffs—you’ll be in awe of them all. By choosing this country for your vacation, you’re taking a strong stand: very committed to renewable energy, Iceland is also fighting against ocean pollution.

Canada, the ideal destination for nature lovers

If you're the kind of person who loves sports holidays, the Canada is THE destination for sustainable tourism you need. Within this vast country rich in national parks, you have hiking, rafting, fishing, horseback riding, skiing and much more. You choose, everything is possible!

In France, where are we going?

If you are spending your holidays in France this summer, know that there are many options available to you for a holiday that respects the environment. Currently, there are more than a dozen eco-friendly destinations in the French hexagon. As for the cities, Strasbourg, Chamonix, Angers and the Morzine-Avoriaz resort are the places to prioritize. As for nature, you get to decide whether you prefer the sea, the countryside or the mountains; there is something for everyone after all!

From the Central Massif to the Calanques National Park, through the Loire Valley, the Luberon Regional Natural Park and the Velodyssée, this cycling route that crosses Brittany and descends to the Basque Coast along the Atlantic Ocean, there are many beautiful things to see and discover in France, combining tourism and ecology. So, are you ready to book your next trip?
