I’d like to welcome Eric and the team from Eco Friendly Tourist.  ecofriendlytourist.com describes itself as ‘the user friendly guide to green holidays’ and provides details of green vacations in the UK – where to go, how to get there and things to do while you’re away. Set up in 2006 its content is based on journalistic research. It doesn’t nag and or preach: the aim is inspire visitors to the site and help them plan and enjoy guilt free vacations.

The website features an independent guide to eco-friendly places to stay in the UK, featuring hotels, hostels, guest houses, self-catering and bed and breakfast accommodation – plus some other unusual places – throughout the country and across all price ranges.

Each comprehensive listing is divided into two parts with details of its eco-friendly credentials plus a descriptive overview of what the place is really like. It is easy to use and every listing is no more than two clicks away from the Home page.

The guide also includes a guide to hotel chains and what they are doing to go green, a camping and caravanning guide, and the lowdown on eco friendly short breaks in the UK, from cheap short breaks to luxury short breaks, romantic breaks to family breaks, activity breaks to spa breaks, outdoor breaks to heritage breaks. There is information about public transport across the UK, by road, sea and rail, but not by air.

The site is packed with jargon free information about green holidays: how to choose  where to stay, carbon offsetting, the pitfalls of “greenwashing”, and more. Plus there’s a 10 step guide on how to be an eco friendly tourist. The Travel Essentials section has information and links to help you plan a stress-free holiday - passports and visas, safety, travel insurance, travel money and holiday weather.
