Vacations to Clean Up Your Travel Act!
A
brand new book from Rough Guides, www.roughguides.com,
has taken much of the effort out of choosing sustainable, low-impact, responsible
vacations. Clean
Breaks: 500 New Ways to See the World shares terrific travel
ideas that are not only inspiring and unusual but that actually make a real
difference in the lives of local people and on the planet. From the rustic,
such as sleeping on houseboats in Kerela, India to witnessing the zebra migration
in Botswana, to the more chic, such as taking the train hotel from Paris to
Madrid, this full color 392-page book is packed with ideas to create a lifetime
of great adventures.
“What
makes a Clean Break?” ask the authors. “Essentially it is about
minimizing your environmental impact – on your journey and at your destination – by
choosing carefully how you travel and the nature of the place where you choose
to stay. It is also about having a positive impact in other ways – by
contributing where you can to the conservation of wildlife and local heritage,
and supporting local economies.”
British authors Richard Hammond, Green Travel Correspondent
for The Guardian and Jeremy Smith, former editor of The
Ecologist Magazine,
combine cultural sensitivity with practical advice, hand-picking the best hotels,
resorts and tours run by earth-friendly people passionate about what they do.
They also co-edit www.greentraveller.co.uk, an online guide to low impact travel
worldwide.
Clean Breaks (ISBN 978-1-84836-047-1) is available in local bookshops
and all online bookstores. You will need no other resource for your responsible
vacation planning. At US$34.99, it is a large format paperback where virtually
every page is laced with photographs that give a clear idea of what to
expect with all their recommendations. This book is a senior-friendly
vacationing bible for any traveler in your life and an entertaining
read even for someone who seldom leaves home.
