Stop Being a Tourist: 5 Sustainable Travel Myths DEBUNKED
Don't ruin the places you love. Learn the 5 biggest lies about sustainable travel—from budget and luxury to wildlife encounters—and how to truly travel better.
Myth 2: My Small Choices Don't Matter Against Big Corporations.
❌ The Lie: Seriously, what difference does my single plastic bottle or my one local lunch make? The industry is just too massive for little me to impact.
✅ The Reality: Your Wallet is a Vote. You Are Creating Demand.
This lie is dangerous because it makes us feel powerless. But here’s the truth: every single dollar you spend is a direct signal to the travel industry. When you intentionally choose the locally-owned restaurant, book a local guide, or stay at a spot that talks openly about conservation, you are demanding better service. You are the customer, and the customer has all the power.
The Action: Start being nosey! Ask your hotel about their water conservation or waste programs. If they don't have one, tell them straight up why you chose a competitor last time. That direct, human feedback is the only thing that actually forces the big companies to change.
