Fun and eco-friendly, here are the top sustainable destinations rising around the world you need to visit for your next trip:

Monaco

The four-star luxury, Hotel Fairmont Monte-Carlo works on a daily basis to conserve resources, optimize energy management, minimize water consumption and boost recycling with its four heating pumps, which generate energy and Monaco Bike Tours takes you to a tour of the city on an electric bicycle! Preserving and admiring the natural landscape of the country is another bonus to this eco-friendly journey.

Sri Lanka

An ultimate in diversity, culture, and nature – Sri Lanka stances number one in promoting sustainability in its tourism.

All visitors to Bhutan are required to book through a registered/sustainable tour operator for their visit to Bhutan.

Chile

According to a study in 2012, Chile topped the list leading in sustainability. The biggest reason behind this sector flourishing in Chile is the government’s understanding and support of eco-tourism. Bird Chile Nature Tours introduced birding tours throughout the whole country with a leave no trail behind policy. Chile’s first luxury eco-camp Patagonia Camp treats wastewater, composts foods waste in its in-house herb garden while many other hotels have also followed suit.
