Online travel platform Better Places Travel calls on travellers to take fewer flights for the sake of the environment. People who like to travel should take longer and fewer trips and aim to have as much positive impact as possible at the destination itself. Strange, but true: a travel organization that is calling on travellers to fly less often. And yet long-distance travel specialist Better Places Travel is doing just that. The impact trips created by Better Places Travel are all at least three weeks long and provide many opportunities for contact with locals during the trip. The best memories are often made by meeting and interacting with the local people. Think about using local drivers and guides, choosing special excursions and staying in homestays or small-scale sustainable accommodations.
