How to be an Eco-Friendly Traveler
We’re all about making simple choices on how we can be more environmentally conscious especially when traveling.
Use Reef Safe Sunscreen
While sun protection is essential for all the fun outdoor activities we do, did you know that most sunscreens are harmful to our coral reefs?

Choose animal experience carefully
Whenever traveling especially if you’re going to be with kids, consider choosing your animal experiences wisely. Sustainable Travel International recommends you steer clear of common culprits such as elephant rides, lion petting, tiger selfies, and dancing monkeys.
Pack reusable items
Whenever your packing for an upcoming trip, always think REUSABLE. Consider packing items which you can reuse during your trip to help you not buy any single use items such as plastic bottled water, plastic containers, etc.
Travel off-peak
Consider visiting popular tourist destinations during off-peak season. Overtourism often puts a strain to popular destinations affecting not just the place but its local communities as well. Another benefit of traveling off peak? Fewer tourists or travelers. Win win, right?
opt for Laser Hair Removal
Is getting laser-ed more sustainable than shaving? While not totally zero waste, compared to shaving, the waste you throw out is drastically less. If you’re constantly worrying about unwanted hair whenever you’re traveling, laser hair removal can change your life.
