Most sustainable travel destinations worldwide

Sustainability is an increasingly important selection criterion for holidaymakers, and a recent survey of US travellers showed that more than half pay attention to the impact on the environment and climate when choosing their destination. The latest results of the Global Destinations Sustainability Index, a benchmark that ranks global destinations based on their sustainability performance in the tourism and events industry, have now been published. The Index is compiled annually based on 70 indicators, including CO2 emissions, employment rates and air quality. Subsequently, the Index expresses in percentages how many of these factors are well met.
