6 Tips for Insuring Green Travel
The term green travel conjures many different
images for travelers sleeping in a hammock
slung between two trees at a public beach, for
example. For most travelers, however there are
various shades of green travel that involve a
range of actions that are far easier to
implement. At the heart of the matter is the
universal view of the importance of protecting
the natural and cultural environments of places
youre visiting. That means implementing habits
that preserve the plants, wildlife, and other
resources in their most natural state and
respecting the local culture while contributing
positively to local communities.

Many travelers believe that taking a green
approach to travel makes for a more rewarding and
authentic travel experience. It encourages
travelers to create deeper connections with the
people they meet and the places they visit. Just
like back home, you can take going green about as
far as youre comfortable. Many travelers
implement simple ways to green-up their
travel Choosing green lodging these are
hotels that employ locals, have recycling and
linen reuse programs, and give back to the local
community. Some green lodging really is renting a
hammock on the beach, but other options including
working on local farms, renting local apartments,
or exchanging homes.

Taking public transportation, walking, or biking
these are all great options for reducing the
amount of carbon emissions a traveler causes when
they travel. Many cities have begun
implementing bike exchanges, for example, and you
can often find some of the best tours of cities
by hiring a walking tour guide to give you the
local, grounds-eye view of a new
destination. Carrying a refillable water bottle
if youre flying, youll need to empty it
before you go through security, but you can
refill it on the other side and you wont be
buying and tossing water bottles as you travel.
You can even get water bottles that filter the
water for impurities now so the water youre
drinking is a little safer.

Buying local when you arrive this means
choosing local restaurants that buy their
products from local farmers instead of hitting
the chain that imports everything. Some
travelers skip the TSA hassle and buy their
shampoo, sunscreen, lotion and other liquids when
they arrive. This helps the local economy and
makes for an easier trip through security. Donate
whats left to a local shelter or drop it off at
a hostel and it will get used up. Taking a green
approach to travel insurance has become important
for many travelers and travel suppliers such as
hotels and tour operators have heard the call and
made options available to travelers who want to
go green, but what does a green traveler have to
think about when it comes to insuring their
trip? Source http//www.travelinsurancereview.n
