Fancy green travel inspiration for travel planning (and dreaming)?

Some 200+ travel and tourism companies answered an online questionnaire about their actions “to reduce carbon impact and promote water conservation, biodiversity conservation and waste management.”  A panel of travel and tourism experts studied the results and chose the final green list.
