10 practical tips for sustainable travel
-
Use Sustainable Transport
Where possible, opt for the train or bus to get to your airport. In Curaçao, you can use an (electric) bike or walk instead of renting a car. -
Be Conscious When You Fly
A direct flight causes less CO₂ emissions than a flight with layovers. Also, choose airlines with an environmentally friendly policy and consider CO₂ compensation. -
Stay in Sustainable Accommodation
A resort like Bon Bini, which invests in local employment and environmentally friendly initiatives, contributes to responsible tourism. -
Avoid Single-Use Plastics
Bring a reusable water bottle, shopping bag, and straw with you on your trip. Pay attention to your accommodation and restaurants' policies regarding plastic use. -
Eat Locally and Seasonally
Try the local cuisine and support nearby entrepreneurs. Less transportation means less emissions, and you also experience the culture in a more authentic way. -
Avoid Mass Tourism
Avoid crowded excursions and large hotel chains. Stay in small-scale accommodations and explore places not overrun by tourists. -
Respect Nature and Culture
Do not leave trash behind, follow local rules in natural areas, and show interest in the culture of your destination. -
Contribute to the Local Community
Initiatives like Pack for a Purpose allow you to bring school supplies or medical equipment for donation on the island. -
Be Frugal with Water and Electricity
Take shorter showers, turn off air conditioning when not in use, and reuse towels. -

Avoid cheap mass-produced items and opt for handmade goods from local artisans. This way, you support the local economy and buy something unique.
