50 Tips for Traveling Responsibly

Earlier this month, NomadMania shared the 10 guidelines from the Travel Care Code. And here are 50 Tips for Traveling Responsibly which are practical examples of actionable steps for each of those guidelines.

We hope you incorporate these tips in your future trips and be an advocate towards sustainable travel. You can download a pdf copy from this link.

NomadMania in the Media

NomadMania is mentioned in the press once again this month! NomadMania Sustainable Travel Advocacy Committee member Anna-Katri Raiha has been featured in Helsingin Sanomat, the largest subscription newspaper in Finland and the Nordic countries.

Here are some snippets from the article:

• "Allowing private individuals to stop flying will not solve the problem of global warming," Räihä says. Air transport is responsible for less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Planes are also used to transport cargo and business travellers, Räihä points out.

• If there was a choice, Räihä would prefer to travel overland. "When you travel overland, you experience more. You get a completely different feeling of traveling than on a plane trip, which is just a move from one place to another," Räihä says.
• Räihä says that she prefers local services when travelling. "I try to make sure that my money goes directly to local companies and not through intermediaries to big international companies."

What Sustainable Travel Means to Us

Our travel tribe has spoken. ChatGPT has brilliantly summarised below the responses from a number of NomadManians which you can read here.

“For us, sustainable travel means acknowledging the changes in the travel landscape and the challenges it poses. We strive to be conscientious travelers by being aware of our impact, acting like locals, and actively choosing lesser-known destinations. It's about respecting the environment, cultures, and communities we encounter, while leaving a positive mark wherever we go.

Sustainable travel involves making responsible choices, such as carrying reusable items, supporting local economies, and minimizing waste and carbon footprint. By taking social and environmental responsibility, we aim to preserve the beauty of travel for future generations while creating a harmonious balance between exploration and sustainability.”
