Booking.com has unveiled a list of ten destinations worldwide that are making significant strides in sustainability, aiming to assist travellers in making more responsible choices in 2025.
This announcement comes as new research reveals a growing gap between the intentions and actions of Singapore-based travellers. Whilst 64% express a desire to travel more sustainably, 59% admit they are unsure how to find such options.
The findings highlight a demand for sustainable travel options, with 60% of Singaporeans believing there are insufficient choices available. In response, Booking.com is spotlighting destinations like Koh Yao Noi in Thailand, known for its renewable energy-powered accommodations, and Kyoto in Japan, which offers cultural experiences that support local communities.
Booking.com is also enhancing its platform by featuring third-party certified accommodations to help travellers make informed decisions. “We aim to make it easier for everyone to experience the world sustainably,” a spokesperson from Booking.com stated.
The initiative aligns with the upcoming World Environment Day on 5 June, underscoring the importance of sustainable travel. As more travellers seek authentic and culturally rich experiences, destinations like Seoul, South Korea, and Tabanan, Indonesia, offer unique opportunities to engage with local traditions and natural beauty.
This move by Booking.com not only addresses the current gap in sustainable travel options but also sets a precedent for future travel trends, encouraging more destinations to adopt eco-friendly practices.
