Eco-responsible travel is based on a principle of carbon neutrality to reduce its negative impact on the environment and preserve the planet. There are several principles that govern ecological travel and these are not particularly binding.
It is possible to adopt all these principles gradually to better acclimatize to the changes of green travel.
- Favor less polluting transport: train, coach, carpooling, etc.
- Limit the use of the plane: non-stop journey and respect of the ratio between the distance traveled and the duration of the stay, i.e. one hour of flight is equivalent to one day of vacation on the place (for Madagascar this would be equivalent to a fortnight on site)
- Travel with travel agencies and providers who are committed to eco-responsibility.
- Check the different labels of the places of stay in Madagascar and on your journey.
- Give preference to hotels, lodges or campsites committed to an environmental approach, members of professionals committed to responsible and sustainable tourism. (CALL Re)
- Reduce the weight of luggage and bring only what is necessary
- Use eco-responsible products such as sun milks instead of oils which form a screen on the surface of the water and slow down the photosynthesis of underwater plants, for example.
Ecological travel requires real investment and the adoption of eco-responsible behavior to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the circulation of the virus, travelers cannot yet move freely outside their own country except for compelling cases such as a family or professional obligation.
For the moment, the borders with outside countries remain closed until further notice. This unprecedented situation is absolutely not eternal and from today, it will be necessary to know how to adopt a new way of traveling.
Responsible and sustainable.
