Travel responsibly without roughing it

Travel remains the fastest growing industry in the UK and is vital to many other countries’ economies. However, there is growing concern over the negative impact that our love of travelling is having on the environment.

This comprehensive guide to responsible travel not only highlights the global concerns but it provides solutions on how we can all still take holidays and yet be responsible travellers.

Higher Ground includes ethical travel organisations, the best tour operators, hotels, websites, carbon offsetting companies and volunteering projects for responsible travellers. Rhiannon Batten proves that travelling ethically doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg, or involve sleeping on hard floors.

With some environmental organisations calling on us to stop flying altogether, this book provides travellers with a reasonable alternative and shows how we can travel responsibly without roughing it.

The Author: Rhiannon Batten has written for the Independent as well as the Observer, Elle and She magazine. She has been writing about travel for the past decade. She lives in Edinburgh and is available for interview.
