If you keep tabs on travel trends you know that sustainable travel has become a major driver of getaways because people are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, says travel writer Caroline Bologna. “Green travel should really be thought of more holistically as ‘responsible travel,’ taking into account not just the environment but also the local community, the economy, and travel culture,” added travel curator Brian McMahon, and proponents couldn’t find a better way to enjoy a vacation that’s totally guilt-free!

Worried that sustainable travel is a fad destined to come and go? Not according to Booking.com. Their survey found that 76% of their website visitors want to travel more responsibly over the next year, thus it’s no surprise that Belize has become an epicenter of sustainable travel. The nation is so close, your plane won’t require huge amounts of fuel to reach your destination. Further, you won’t find a Belize resort more dedicated to supporting this movement than Laru Beya Resort, the property guests count on to support their green commitments.

What can you do during your sustainable Laru Beya beach vacation?

• Borrow free resort bicycles to tour Placencia Village rather than hiring a car
• Kayak along the Caribbean coastline (yes, kayaks are on the house!)
• Try your hand at low-impact paddleboarding if you’d like to try something new
• Snorkel Belize’s Barrier Reef maintained by a nation working hard to make sure the reef stays healthy for generations
• Plan your next stay at Laru Beya’s sister resort, Manta Island Resort, which is located on a marine reserve where turtle conservation efforts are being supported and sustained
• Swim laps in the resort’s pool to keep up with your fitness efforts
• Support local community events, like shopping at local markets and learning how Indigenous Mayas make chocolate
• Get your fill of Garifuna music, a cultural treasure gaining a worldwide reputation
• Explore the Peninsula using a resort golf cart rather than a vehicle requiring gas
• Visit the lagoon side of the peninsula where a manatee habitat is lovingly protected
• Take advantage of the resort’s tour menu to learn more about activities that are only possible thanks to restorative and conservation efforts undertaken by the government, non-profits, and Belize environmentalists.
