I’m looking for leading and emerging diverse writers in the sustainable travel field to write guest content.
Topics
I’m interested in well researched and detailed content focused on sustainable travel, such as:
- Sustainable city guides
- Locals or residents only, please
- Following a certain outline
- Example of a sustainable urban guide to Munich.
- Sustainable travel guides or itineraries
- These can include sustainable travel guides away from urban areas – guides diffusing mass tourism, guides focusing on local businesses, etc.
- Locals or residents preferred
- Check out this sustainable travel guide to Hawai’i written by a Pacific Islander as an example.
- Sustainable ecotourism experiences
- Must focus on economic, social, and environmental benefits
- Example of a sustainable ecotourism article featuring gorilla treks in Uganda
- Personal narratives about environmental lessons learned while traveling
- An example could be things I learned about reducing my plastic waste while traveling in Kenya.
- Ethical, cultural interactions from travel
- Sustainable tips to consider when visiting X
- Locals and residents only
- Local stories from vulnerable travel destinations
- An example is what this Pacific Islander wants you to consider when visiting islands and traveling.
- Ethical wildlife encounters
- Should focus on sustainable ecotourism and include research on the welfare of animals and their conservation status
- See this ethical penguin tour in New Zealand highlighting conservation efforts.
- Regenerative travel stories
- Regenerative travel is travel that improves a destination
