While most of us are at least aware of the potential consequences that our actions have on the state of the ocean, many of us do not fully understand the scale of its impact.

In this blog post we’ll take a look at 3 reasons why the ocean is important in our everyday lives. The list is truly endless, but these examples provide a few major reasons to #GoGreenForTheBigBlue.

This week on the blog we interview the founders of Sailors for Sustainability!

These 2 sailors are sailing around the world looking for sustainable solutions that are making the world a better place, read on to hear about their journey thus far.

When planning our next holiday, we always make sure we have the essentials. We might even make a checklist of all the things we need and all the places we’re going to see. But do any of us really think about how our trip might affect the local community of our holiday destination?

This week on the blog we have one of our environmental consultants Molly Manwill writing about her experience setting up a Lang Tengah Turtle Watch project where hotel guests can sponsor a turtle nest! Read more to find out how conservation and tourism can go hand in hand!

When we visit magical destinations, we never think about how they are changing in front of our eyes.

However, as tourist activity has increased over the last few decades, many of these beautiful natural wonders have suffered.One reason for this is invasive species. These are animals and plants that are introduced to new environments either intentionally or unintentionally.

As you lay on the beach, relaxing and soaking up the sunshine, enjoying your holiday or weekend
getaway or gap year adventure, you reach over and take a sip from your refreshing drink. But have you ever thought twice about what happens to that straw you are using. Have you ever been eco-conscious while abroad?

We are excited to announce our first Sea Going Green Ambassador ! Melissa will be spreading awareness about the need and importance of sustainable tourism globally throughout the year, notably at the Commonwealth games in Australia this April ! Read our interview with Melissa and why she decided to take the pledge and more!

I used to never think about trash. As a Western city dweller,  it is easy to remain in blissful ignorance of garbage: where it comes from, where it goes. The only brain cells devoted to trash were for mindless separation, and remembering to take the seperated bags out before they got too full. Otherwise convenience (or a frustrated roommate) takes over, and everything ends up in the general bin.

Sometimes, our dream vacations can have serious negative consequences on the environment. Though we dream of splashing in the waves with dolphins and seeing coral reefs up close, the reality is that the effects of these actions can long outlive our enjoyment of them.

As we all know when the sun is shining it’s time to slather on the sunscreen and protect ourselves
from sunburn and potential skin cancer, but have you ever thought about the affect the sunscreen is having on the marine environment?

This week we met with Straw by Straw , another partner helping us to #GoGreenForTheBigBlue. Every day we use hundreds of millions straws worldwide. See how this company provides a sustainable alternative. 

We are excited to announce that we have partnered up with Conservation Guide!

Tourism has a huge influence on water pollution. But do you know where that pollution comes from or how it impacts the environment? Here we try to answer those questions and more

We travel to new places for a lot of reasons: to meet new people, experience new cultures, and see some of the most beautiful sights in the world.

But have you ever wondered how your travels affect the local environment?

2017 in review: United Nations World Travel Organization named 2017 “The International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development”. It was poised to “advance the contribution of the tourism sector to the three pillars of sustainability – economic, social and environmental” as said by the then UNWTO Secretary-General, Taleb Rifai.

Conservation can be a tricky concept to come to terms with, as it has different meanings to different people. Preservationists believe conservation entails keeping pristine swathes of natural landscape rigidly protected, with minimal human contact.
