Eco-Tourism Higher On The Agenda For Discerning US Travelers

American travelers are increasingly investing in eco and nature-based tourism, coupling luxury with something a little bit different according to the specialist tour operator, Voyagers Travel.

The South American experts offer ultra luxurious itineraries such as Galapagos cruises aboard five-star catamarans and yachts – it has reported an 12% year on year increase in American guests and interest in its nature-driven experiences as vacation planning takes on more sustainable and eco significance.

Andre Robles, General Manager of Voyagers Travel says, “In the last 12 months we have seen more and more travelers placing an emphasis on eco-friendly travel and being closer to nature. We estimate around a 12% growth year-on-year and that’s true across most demographics, from younger families to older couples.

“This new awareness of sustainability and impact is coupled with a desire not to miss out on a luxury vacation and increasingly, our customers are looking for a balance where they can truly indulge and enjoy their trip in elegant surroundings but also feel like they are getting up close with nature in a responsible, ethical way. It’s very inspiring to see, especially as warnings of climate change and pollution are worse than ever.”
