Ethical and Sustainable Travel Resources
 
The TravelPlanner is your hand picked library of the best ethical travel information on the web. It covers both travel within and from the UK. There is loads of useful information here, and we will continue to add to it - if you are planning a trip, why not add this page to your bookmarks now, so you can return again.
 
We concentrate on ethical travel and sustainable eco tourism, so you can expect to see sites with strong ethical principles given prominence.
 

Featured Site:
Every month we feature a site of particular interest -something that stands out from the crowd -it might be that it has some good photos, be really a useful source information or simply that it demonstrate a strong environmental or ethical stance.
 
January 2009: Deepdale Backpackers, Deepdale Farm, Norfolk, England -we have chosen this one because of their leading the way for eco friendly budget accommodation. As well as the Deepdale Granary Hostel, they also run a campsite with tipis ready erected, or bring your own tent or camper van. (perhaps not for the current weather!) . They have won many awards for their sustainability projects. Read more about them and other eco hostels on our UK eco hostels pages.
