Grand Canyon National Park Ecotourism Travel, Green Vacations & Eco Tourism

Ecotourism in this region can serve to protect everything from The Grand Canyon National Park itself to the many lakes and rivers that run through Northern Arizona. Your sustainable travel choices affect not only your individual trip but those that hope to follow in your footsteps. Working with your lodging property and guide company mean working towards preserving your natural resources.

Preservation of our natural resources has becoming increasingly important to the Grand Canyon area. Keeping the waters clean and the lands as pristine as when we found them is the motivation behind the ecotourism movement of the Northern Arizona communities that you are hoping to visit on your vacation. Lodging properties and guide companies are working together to offer you sustainable travel options throughout your entire trip. By utilizing the ecotourism guidelines outlined below and following your own ethical standards we can all work together to protect what nature intended us to enjoy.

-Do your homework. Research hotels and tour companies that have ecotourism policies in place..
-Look for a lodging property that has eco friendly standards.
-Choose eco minded activities. Biking, hiking, whitewater rafting and kayaking can be green activities,
depending on the tour operator.
-Respect your environment. Leave a minimal impact on your surroundings so that others may enjoy it for years to come.
-Request paperless communication. Invoicing and receipts can all be done electronically.
-Go local. Support local companies and organizations that employ environmentally sensible practices.
-Sustainable is always the better choice. Doing what you can for a better tomorrow just makes sense.
