As the number of travelers on the road continues to rise, the detrimental effect they can have on natural environments becomes an increasing concern. With this in mind, Let’s Go promotes the philosophy of sustainable travel. Through a sensitivity to issues of ecology and sustainability, today’s travelers can be a powerful force in preserving as well as restoring the places they visit.
Ecotourism, a rising trend in sustainable travel, focuses on the conservation of natural habitats and how to use them to build up the economy without exploitation or overdevelopment. Travelers can make a difference by doing research in advance and by supporting organizations and establishments that pay attention to their impact on their natural surroundings and that strive to be environmentally friendly. For Mexico-specific information on ecotourism, see Beyond Tourism.
