Sustainable Travel Guide

Most of us love to travel, but let’s be honest, sometimes it’s hard to know what exactly all the certifications and movements around environmentally friendly options actually mean. When it comes to travel, making sustainable choices can seem like a bit of a minefield, but knowing what to look out for is a good place to start.

Sustainable tourism is the key to ensuring that generations to come will still be able to enjoy the natural world and local culture. If you want to join the sustainability movement in Kilkenny, we’ve got you covered. These tips will show you how you can make sure that future generations can enjoy the experience of travel as much as you do today

What is sustainable tourism?

  • Protect the heritage and landscape
  • Choose sustainable transport options
  • Stay in eco-friendly accommodation
  • Support local businesses
  • Travel slow and get off the beaten path
  • Invest or give back to the local community

Our vision is to lead, enable and
empower Irish tourism businesses to
use more responsible tourism methods.
