As we mark the one-year anniversary of unveiling the 2023 Sustainable Travel Survey Results, it’s the perfect moment to celebrate our journey and reflect on our progress. Each scenario-based question in the survey was designed around a focus area aligned with a principle of the Travel Care Code and a priority of the Center for Responsible Travel (CREST). These partner organisations offer invaluable resources to Nomadmania for promoting sustainable travel.

If you have a travel story that demonstrates any of the focus areas, please feel free to reach out at info@nomadmania.com so we can feature your story in our Sustainable Travel blog – Sustainable Travel – NomadMania.
Sustainable travel is not just a trend but a necessary evolution in how we explore and connect with the world. Together, we can make a positive impact and ensure that our travels contribute to a better future for everyone.
