Traveling light and other ecofriendly trends in African tourism
With the focus firmly on sustainable travel options in 2023, African operators are getting creative in their initiatives to save the planet. One trend highlighted at the WTM Africa trade show earlier this month in Cape Town was that ecoconscious travelers now choose to travel almost luggage-free to reduce CO2 emissions.
These "eco-warriors" fly with the clothes on their back and a small carry-on bag for the basics such as a smartphone, a toothbrush and toothpaste to lighten the aircraft's load and reduce its fuel requirements and subsequent CO2 emissions. This is according to the Africa Travel Week Trends report.
