Sustainable
Travel
International
released
the
first
episodes
of
the
second
season
of Sustainable
Travel:
Where
Next?.
Launched
last
year,
the
short-form
documentary
series
takes
viewers
on
a
transformative
journey,
showcasing
initiatives
across
the
globe
that
are
redefining
tourism
as
a
force
for
positive
change.
The
second
season
of
Sustainable
Travel:
Where
Next?
takes
viewers
to
new
corners
of
the
planet,
bringing
more
stories
to
life
through
the
voices
of
local
changemakers.
The
episodes
explore
solutions
that
are
mitigating
tourism
impacts
like
ocean
pollution
and
climate
change,
while
creating
benefits
for
environments,
destinations,
and
communities.
Viewers
will
witness
how
tourism
dollars
support
community-led
forest
conservation
in
Tanzania,
learn
how
to
minimize
disturbances
to
Svalbard’s
pristine
arctic
wilderness,
and
discover
how
a
leave
no
trace
program
is
protecting
sea
life
in
California’s
Laguna
Beach.
With
the
release
of
the
first
five
episodes
of
season
two,
the
full
series
now
includes
a
total
of
22
episodes,
with
additional
episodes
to
be
released
over
the
coming
year.
Today,
awareness
of
tourism’s
impacts
is
at
an
all-time
high.
According
to
Booking.com’s 2023
Sustainable
Travel
Report,
74%
of
travelers
want
tourism
companies
to
offer
more
sustainable
choices.
As
travelers
seek
out
more
mindful
experiences,
tourism
companies
and
destinations
must
shift
away
from
traditional,
extractive
forms
of
tourism
in
order
to
remain
competitive.
“Sustainability
is
a
broad,
complex
topic
and
many
people
don’t
know
where
to
start.
This
series
aims
to
raise
awareness
of
what
sustainability
means
in
practice,
and
make
it
more
tangible
to
the
tourism
industry
and
travelers,”
said
Paloma
Zapata,
CEO
of
Sustainable
Travel
International.
“We
are
excited
to
build
upon
the
success
of
the
inaugural
season
to
showcase
more
examples
and
inspire
a
wider
audience
of
viewers
around
the
world.”
