Sustainable living
According to a report by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), tourism contributes around 8 percent of global carbon emissions. This contribution comes from transportation, accommodation, and tourism activities. The good news is that the trend of sustainable tourism or eco tourism is becoming increasingly popular because it offers travel experiences without harming the environment while supporting nature conservation efforts.
Indonesia, with its extraordinary biodiversity and cultural richness, has great potential for the development of sustainable tourism. From tropical forests and traditional villages to world-class marine parks, there are many eco-friendly destinations that empower local communities.
Below are seven recommendations for sustainable travel destinations that you can visit in a more responsible way toward the planet.
One of the regions with the highest marine biodiversity in the world. Local governments and indigenous communities work together with conservation organizations to protect marine conservation areas. In addition to diving, visitors can join educational tours to learn about ecosystems and conservation practices implemented by local communities.
In addition to being the natural habitat of Komodo dragons, this national park applies conservation-based tourism management. Visitor numbers are limited and trekking routes are controlled to avoid disturbing wildlife. Visitors can explore Padar Island or Komodo Island to learn about endemic flora and conservation programs managed by park authorities.
Known as one of the cleanest villages in the world and for implementing the Tri Hita Karana concept. Residents preserve the environment through independent waste management and strict rules on tree cutting. Visitors can stay in local homestays and learn firsthand about sustainable living practices.
A top destination to observe orangutans responsibly. Visitors can cruise along the Sekonyer River by klotok while learning about orangutan conservation and the importance of tropical rainforests. Tourism programs in this area also support wildlife rehabilitation.
A marine national park covering more than one million hectares with highly diverse coral reef ecosystems. Local governments and communities implement community-based tourism. Visitors not only enjoy the beauty of the sea but also learn about sustainable fishing practices and efforts to reduce single-use plastics.
A traditional village that continues to maintain a simple and environmentally friendly lifestyle. The community uses natural building materials and preserves ecological balance. Tourism activities are monitored to ensure they do not harm the environment or local culture. Visitors can learn sustainability values directly from the daily lives of the community.
An island known for its clear waters and peaceful atmosphere. Many accommodations apply eco lodge concepts such as the use of solar energy and environmentally friendly wastewater management systems. Visitors can also participate in beach clean-up programs or coral reef planting activities with local communities.
Enjoying nature does not mean sacrificing it. Simple choices such as bringing your own water bottle, choosing eco-friendly accommodations, or using low-emission transportation can help preserve destinations.
