What does it mean to travel sustainabily? 

Sustainability in travel encompasses much more that you would expect.  By some measures there are at least 13 different measures that are used to determine how sustainable a property or even a destination is.  It is much more complicated than could be explained on one website page.  Balanced Explorations has some videos on its You Tube Channel and is developing courses and masterclasses to help the luxury traveler understand the difference they can make with their travel dollars without sacrificing the luxurious experience.  Luxury is also highly subjective.  One person would find glamping luxurious, while another would never consider sleeping outside.  Experiences range from finding a property that has discontinued use of single-use plastics to a regenerative experience where a person goes to personally leave a place better than the way they found it.  Other aspects of sustainability include:  travel meant to enjoy and keep cultures alive, frequenting locally-owned restaurants and accommodations, choosing minority- and women-owned businesses, and more.  Be sure to go to the Contact page to email with any questions you may have.
