Travellers, destinations, and tourism businesses worldwide are redefining success by how tourism grows, who it benefits, and how it protects people and places.

Recent global research shows this evolution clearly:

• 84% of global travellers say travelling sustainably is important to them (Booking.com survey, 2025)
• More than half of travellers are now conscious of tourism’s impact on local communities as well as the environment (Booking.com survey 2025)
• More and more accommodations worldwide now display sustainability badges on major online booking platforms. (Booking.com sustainable travel report 2023)

But how are priorities shifting across different regions? Understanding this is critical for travel and tourism businesses with global reach. We’ve taken a look at some of the key priorities in different areas.

Europe: Managing Pressure, Preserving Places

In many mature European destinations, especially those where tourism takes place year-round, sustainability is tied to balance rather than just growth. For many, the priority is managing the impact of large visitor numbers on the local environment and community. What’s more, travellers now expect responsible tourism practices to be embedded into their holiday as standard (Booking.com sustainable travel report 2023).

European destinations are increasingly focusing on managing where and when visitors travel to reduce pressure on hotspots, and putting local residents and businesses at the centre of decisions about how tourism operates in their area.

Asia and the Pacific: Planning for Sustainable Growth

From Southeast Asian island nations to China’s urban hubs, sustainability is developing alongside rapid tourism growth. Destinations are increasingly embedding sustainability into tourism planning as part of long‑term strategic growth.

At last year’s UN Tourism Regional Commission, discussions centred around prioritising ecosystem protection in biodiverse regions, integrated planning for new infrastructure, and ensuring local communities share in the economic benefits of tourism. The region shows that sustainability doesn’t have to slow growth down, but it must evolve with it as demand increases.

Africa: Conservation and Community Value

Across Africa, sustainable tourism is closely linked to community wellbeing and wildlife conservation. From protecting wildlife and natural habitats to supporting rural livelihoods, tourism creates shared value for both local communities and visitors. Recent reporting from Travel and Tour World points to growing global demand for nature-based and culturally-rooted experiences, strengthening long-term tourism prospects across the continent.

Emerging data shows robust growth in African tourism prospects, reflecting a rising global interest in experiences grounded in nature and local culture.

The Americas: Climate and Responsible Growth

In North and South America, sustainability is increasingly linked with climate impact and resilience. According to the World Travel & Tourism Council (2024), emissions are being more closely monitored and reduced across multiple countries, demonstrating that travel and tourism can continue to grow while lowering their environmental footprint.

Across the region, destinations are focusing on adapting to climate risks, protecting water and ecosystems, and supporting cultural heritage through tourism. Together, these efforts reflect a broader shift: travel and hospitality are being recognised not only as economic drivers, but as climate-aware industries with a responsibility to support long-term environmental and cultural resilience.

Small Island Destinations: Sustainability as Survival

For island economies, from the Caribbean to the Pacific, sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a necessity. Tourism fuels local economies, but rising sea levels, coastal erosion and fragile ecosystems make climate resilience a matter of survival. Research from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2023) shows that tourism in Pacific small island developing states is already being significantly affected by climate change, underscoring the need for urgent adaptation.

In response, many islands are investing in client-resilient infrastructure, protecting local nature such as coral reefs, and integrating community wellbeing into their tourism planning. When sustainability is tied to survival, it becomes a foundation for long-term success.

Sustainability in travel is no longer regional; it is global and deeply interconnected. Travel businesses around the globe are aligning their strategies with traveller expectations while adapting to local environmental and social realities in the destinations where they operate.

By working in partnership with destination and communities, and using credible data and sustainability certification to demonstrate progress, the travel industry is increasingly embedding sustainability across all areas of its operations, rather than treating it as a regional add-on.

Set against the dramatic landscapes of Santo Antão, The Retreat has built its reputation on a deep respect for nature and community. Nestled in the tranquil valley of Pinhão, this unique hospitality destination demonstrates how thoughtful tourism can protect the environment while delivering an exceptional guest experience.

Sustainability is not treated as an add-on, but as a guiding principle that shapes every decision, from how the land is cared for to how guests are welcomed into the rhythm of island life.

Sustainability isn’t just a policy – it’s our foundation

Our journey began with a commitment to preserve the rugged beauty of our island while providing a high-quality hospitality experience. Winning the Green Tourism Silver Award in October 2025 was a proud milestone that validated our efforts to integrate eco-friendly practices into every aspect of our business.

Key Sustainability Actions:

Organic Gardens: We maintain extensive organic gardens that provide fresh, local produce for our guests, reducing our “food miles” to zero for many ingredients.

Environmental Policy: We have implemented a rigorous environmental policy designed to minimize waste and conserve the precious water resources of our mountainous region.

Community Integration: By operating in Pinhão, we support the local economy and encourage guests to engage with the natural heritage of the island in a respectful, low-impact way.

Preserving Natural Beauty: Our property is designed to blend into the terraced landscape of Santo Antão, ensuring that our presence enhances rather than detracts from the environment.

Why It Matters

We believe that tourism in Cabo Verde must be sustainable to survive. By sharing our story, we hope to inspire other small businesses in the Atlantic islands and beyond to see that environmental stewardship and business success go hand-in-hand.

If you are thinking about throwing something away, ask yourself, could this item be repurposed, repaired, reused, or recycled? Exploring these options first can significantly reduce waste and save money.

Repurposing means finding a new use for something that’s reached the end of its original purpose. With a bit of creativity, everyday items can be transformed – old furniture refreshed, jars reused as lanterns, old teacups made into bird feeders or an old washing machine drum as a fire pit for the garden – the possibilities are endless!

Repairing items is another great way to cut waste. Clothing, electronics, furniture and appliances can often be fixed and the fraction of the cost of a replacement. For example, reproofing and retaping a Gortex jacket costs roughly £30 for materials, as opposed to buying a new waterproof jacket for £200+.

Always check warranties first and contact the manufacturer where possible. However, if you’re confident tackling repairs yourself, online resources such as www.youtube.com, www.ifixit.com and www.espares.co.uk offer step-by-step guides to make repairs simple. If you require professional repairers, look for a local repair shop or tradesperson and check their reviews.

Reusing items, either for their original purpose or a new one, keeps them in circulation without major processing. Donating to charity shops or reuse schemes helps others while diverting items from landfill. Buying second-hand is just as important, supporting a circular economy through charity shops, vintage stores, car boot sales and online marketplaces. eBay, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace are great places to search for and sell used items of all types.

Recycling should come last, once all other options have been considered. When recycling, make sure you understand local guidelines, recycling symbols and plastic codes to ensure materials are processed correctly.

This spring, as you declutter, take a moment to consider where your unwanted items will end up. Making thoughtful choices benefits the planet. And often your budget too.

When we began our sustainability journey in 2021, Belmore Court & Motel produced 45.2 tonnes of CO2e annually. Today, we’ve cut Scopes 1 & 2 emissions by 85% to just 6.9 tonnes, and we’re not stopping there. Our target is Carbon Net Zero by 2030, and every member of our team is committed to making it happen.

We’re incredibly proud of those numbers, but what we love even more is the feedback from our guests: 97% say our sustainability practices exceed their expectations, proving that genuine environmental action enhances the visitor experience.

Power from Above, Energy from Within

Our rooftop solar array generates 56kWp, paired with 60kWh battery storage. On sunny days, we generate more electricity than we consume, feeding clean energy back to the grid. We operate on 100% renewable electricity, and all our lighting uses LED fixtures with motion sensors.

The Five-Charger Solution

We’re a key charging hub for Fermanagh, with three AC chargers and 2 DC fast chargers for guests and the public. Our company cars are electric too. Additionally, we provide bus timetables, walking routes, cycle-friendly facilities, and partnerships with local bike providers – creating a complete sustainable transport ecosystem. Staff engagement surveys show our team is using more public transport, cycling and carpooling too.

Zero to Landfill

We’re proud to say we send zero waste to landfill. Our on-site waste transfer station ensures that every item is sorted for recycling, composting or proper disposal. We’ve eliminated single-use plastic toiletries, installed dual-flush toilets and low-flow showerheads, and we harvest rainwater for garden irrigation. Filtered water is provided in guest bedrooms in reusable glass bottles, eliminating the use of hundreds of plastic bottles every month.

Rooted in Place

We’re members of the Cuilcagh Lakelands Geopark Business Sustainability Network, protecting the area’s unique geology, biodiversity, and culture. Partnerships with Fermanagh Fun Farm and guest education through walking guides and biodiversity information connect our sustainability to the wider environment. Our community engagement also includes supporting local charities and cultural initiatives like Fermanagh Live.

The Personal Drive Behind the Data

We’re proof that small, independent properties can lead change. Unlike large hotel chains who might have dedicated sustainability departments and corporate mandates, we’re family-run with just 60 rooms – but our size doesn’t limit our ambition or our achievements. Our Green Team meets regularly, and we listen to and act on feedback from all departments. New employees receive sustainability training as part of their induction too.

Measuring What Matters

We track energy, water and carbon per room night. Our smart heating systems provide WiFi-enabled room-by-room control. This granular data reveals patterns and opportunities that guesswork never could.

Guest feedback shapes our journey. Surveys show 76% participation in towel reuse programmes, 94.4% notice our sustainability efforts, and 93.1% would recommend us for sustainable travel. These aren’t vanity metrics — they’re evidence that our approach resonates with our guests.

Looking Forward

We’re exploring greywater recycling, waterless urinals, native landscaping to reduce irrigation needs, and heat pump installation which could eliminate our remaining Scope 1 emissions.

What drives us forward is proving that environmental responsibility and hospitality excellence aren’t competing priorities; they’re complementary. Every energy saving strengthens our business resilience, every local partnership deepens community ties, and every satisfied guest becomes an advocate for what’s possible when accommodation embraces genuine change.

Belmore Court & Motel’s green story isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress, measurement, transparency, and the conviction that independent, family run accommodation providers can lead meaningful change in Northern Ireland.

Most places have a range of initiatives available to support, from local clean-ups to food growing projects, but knowing where to start isn’t always obvious. We’ve put together a few pointers on what to look for when deciding on the best project for your business to support.

The first step is to decide how your business wants to offer support. This could be through financial contributions, hands-on volunteering, or a combination of both. Discuss it with your team and assess what resources you can realistically commit, in terms of time, budget and staff capacity.

If funds are available, financial support is often the simplest option. A good starting point is your local Wildlife Trust. In the UK, there are 46 independent Wildlife Trusts (which also cover the Isle of Man and Channel Islands) working under The Wildlife Trust umbrella. You can find your local trust by postcode and donate directly, or even support conservation programmes through animal adoption schemes. Local zoos may also offer similar adoption initiatives. Have a look at https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-trusts to find your local trust.

Wherever your business is based, there will almost certainly be a local conservation group or environmental campaign that would welcome financial support. A simple online search can help identify projects operating in your area.

Volunteering requires a bit more planning. Consider whether staff have time to participate, whether volunteering can take place during working hours, and if your insurance covers staff involvement. If activities take place outside of work time, think about how you might encourage participation, such as recognising volunteer hours or offering incentives.

Consider whether staff have time to participate, whether volunteering can take place during working hours, and if your insurance covers staff involvement.

Despite these considerations, in-person volunteering offers great benefits. It enhances your business’s reputation in the community, supports team bonding and morale, and provides valuable content for internal communications and social media.

Platforms such as Nature Volunteers (https://naturevolunteers.uk) can help match businesses and individuals with appropriate projects. In addition, national conservation organisations like the RSPB, National Trust, Woodland Trust and National Parks regularly run volunteer programmes and are worth contacting directly.

Supporting local environmental projects encourages shared responsibility and stronger connections, helping businesses build meaningful relationships beyond their day-to-day operations. It has clear benefits for staff wellbeing, offering opportunities to spend time outdoors, work together in new ways, and develop skills beyond day-to-day roles. Just as importantly, these projects make a lasting difference, protecting and enhancing local environments for residents, visitors, and future generations to enjoy. So if you’ve been considering getting involved, now’s a great time to take that step and go for it!

And if you’ve volunteered or worked on a project in your area, let us know; we love featuring members’ stories in our blogs and across our social media channels! Click here to submit your story: https://bit.ly/4so1nKp

It’s the world’s largest garden wildlife survey, with over half a million people taking part. The data collected plays a vital role in tracking trends in UK bird populations. Find out more here: https://www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happening/big-garden-birdwatch

But birdwatching isn’t the only way to get involved. There are a range of other wildlife surveys running throughout the year, covering a variety of species – and some you can take part in right now.

From December to May, the Freshwater Habitats Trust runs the PondNet Spawn Survey. Participants record sightings of frog and toad spawn, helping scientists better understand amphibian populations across the UK. Their website provides guidance on identifying spawn, submitting records, and even offers a participation certificate. Head to https://freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/advice-resources/survey-methods-hub/pondnet-spawn-survey/ to find out more.

The Bumblebee Conservation Trust runs BeeWalk, a national monitoring scheme that tracks bumblebee numbers. Volunteers commit to a one-hour walk once a month from March to October along a fixed 2km route, recording the bees they see. Full guidance is available on their website: https://beewalk.org.uk/

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) offers a unique opportunity to become a Walrus Detective from the comfort of your own home, using satellite images to count walruses in the Arctic. All you need is internet access and a bit of free time. Details can be found at https://www.wwf.org.uk/learn/walrus-from-space

During the summer months, Butterfly Conservation’s Big Butterfly count invites people to record butterfly sightings during July and August. With climate change affecting weather patterns, this survey provides valuable insight into how butterfly species are coping. Have a look at https://butterfly-conservation.org/butterflies/recording-and-monitoring

If you’re on the west coast of Scotland, you can support the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust by reporting sightings or strandings, helping researchers understand when and where species occur. You can do this at https://whaletrack.hwdt.org/

Urban wildlife is just as important. The People’s Trust for Endangered Species runs the Living with Mammals survey, which records mammal sightings within two hundred metres of a buildings, from gardens and parks to railways and waterways. Details can be found at https://ptes.org/get-involved/surveys/garden/living-with-mammals/

Not all surveys focus on animas. The Woodland Trust’s Ancient Tree Inventory invites people to submit information about trees they think are very old. The tree will then be visited and verified by an expert, helping to protect these important habitats for future generations. If you spot one, submit the details on https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/things-to-do/ancient-tree-inventory

There are many more surveys available – see below for a few examples.

• https://scottishsquirrels.org.uk/
• https://www.earthwormsoc.org.uk/ners
• https://www.recordpool.org.uk/
• https://wildlifeinformation.co.uk/wildlife-surveys/

These projects show just how many ways there are to get involved, from earthworms to whales! Choose something that suits your interests or surroundings, and help record and protect nature.

The good news? Small changes and mindful planning can make a big difference. By planning carefully, choosing sustainable options and making the most of leftovers, you can still enjoy the festive season to the fullest while reducing waste and protecting the planet. Here are some simple steps to help you celebrate Christmas sustainably this year:

From Local Farm to Festive Table

Choose local cafés, restaurants, and markets offering regional and seasonal produce. Seasonal foods taste better, are fresher, and reduce transport-related emissions. A festive tip: seasonal fruit and veg boxes make holiday prep easier and support local growers.

Cut the Carbon for Festive Flavour

Shorter supply chains = lower carbon emissions. Locally grown, in-season foods are riper, fresher and tastier than imported alternatives. Check food labels for country of origin and use-by dates: if it’s been flown in and won’t last long, it’s probably out of season.

Plant-Powered Christmas

Animal products accounts for 16% of global annual greenhouse gas emissions and 60% of food related emissions. Add more plant-based recipes to your Christmas menu or even designate a meat-free day during the festive break – it’s good for the planet and your health.

Seasonal, Sustainable Seafood

Swap heavily eaten fish like cod, salmon, or prawns for sustainable options such as mussels, sardines, or coley. For an sustainable festive starter, UK-grown mussels are eco-friendly and full of flavour.

“Sleigh” Your Festive Waste

Christmas is the season of abundance, but don’t let perfectly good food go to waste! Dig out those tins hiding at the back of the cupboard or the bread tucked in the freezer before you go shopping, ensuring you only buy what you really need. After the big day, get creative with leftovers! Social media is full of ideas and tasty recipes to use up any surplus food.

Review your utility data for the past year. Look for anomalies, compare the data against occupancy rates, and set realistic reduction targets for the year ahead.

Evaluate what worked well in 2025. Check your action plan – update it, add new actions, and make it the central tool for your sustainability efforts.

Single use items: audit all disposable items, not just plastics. Can you replace any of these with sustainable alternatives?

Offers for customers: can you reward guests when they make sustainable choices? This could include skipping a room clean or towel change, bringing a re-usable cup, or using public transport to get to your venue.

Light pollution: review both exterior and interior lighting. Can you install timers or motion sensors for corridors, or solar-powered options for external paths?

Update and review your community and charity commitments. Explore new local opportunities, and allocate time and budget for the upcoming year.

Take care of your grounds and gardens. Plan spring planting with biodiversity in mind, clean nest boxes, fill up feeders, and ensure there is a supply of water for wildlife.

Increase the plant-based options on your menus. For larger menus, can you aim for 15-25% of your menu. For smaller menus, ensure you have at least one plant-based option per course.

Offer green packages for guests and delegates. Highlight your existing sustainable practices, and offer other eco-friendly add-ons such as carbon reporting, menu preordering, paperless meetings, and donations to your chosen project or charity.

New Year, new opportunities: inspire your guests, engage your suppliers, and showcase your sustainable initiatives to ensure your business is known for its eco-friendly practices.

Sustain staff engagement. Run training sessions, workshops and challenges to embed sustainability into everyday operations and culture.
