A traveler’s guide to


going green

We believe that travel is the best way to bridge boundaries, broaden perspectives, and increase our understanding of the world around us—but we also know that a destination’s popularity can put it at risk.

To help you preserve the planet (and all its wonders), Expedia is committed to creating sustainable travel initiatives that address environmental and social concerns—and that are easy to use. You can make a big difference in the places you visit with just a few small steps. Carbon offsetting and green hotels are just the beginning…

Volunteer vacations

Give back while you’re on the road. A volunteer vacation, which can also be called voluntourism, offers you the opportunity to make a direct, positive impact in the communities you visit. You can dedicate your entire vacation or take just a day or two to rebuild villages, teach children, dig for archeological treasures, and more.
