Opening the Green Perspective: The Rise of Eco-Tourism, Enjoying Fun While Reducing Carbon Emissions

Modern travelers are increasingly prioritizing eco-tourism, which emphasizes environmentally friendly travel practices that protect ecosystems, reduce carbon emissions, and support local communities. Eco-tourism involves selecting low-impact transportation, sustainable accommodations, and activities that promote environmental preservation alongside cultural and economic sustenance.
Eco-tourism is defined by the United Nations World Tourism Organization as a balanced approach to sustainable tourism that addresses environmental protection, social equity, and economic development. Key actions include using low-carbon transport, choosing eco-friendly lodging, supporting local cultures and industries, and minimizing waste. These efforts contribute to mitigating climate change and enhancing the overall quality and experience of tourism.
Taiwan’s government has integrated eco-tourism into its 2050 net-zero emissions strategy called Net Zero Green Life. Collaboration between the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Transportation focuses on promoting green travel and lodging practices. Starting in 2025, lodging providers in Taiwan are mandated to replace disposable amenities with refillable products and encourage guests to bring personal toiletries. Local governments, such as those in Kaohsiung and Taichung, support tourism operators in obtaining green certifications, designing low-carbon itineraries, and promoting ecological and cultural tourism to foster a diverse sustainable tourism ecosystem.
Consumers can contribute to eco-tourism by choosing public transportation, cycling, or walking; staying in eco-certified hotels; supporting local farmers and artisans; and engaging in community-run cultural experiences. Examples include the Hualien Promised Land Resort, which utilizes solar energy and rainwater recycling, and Lion Travel, which offers carbon-reducing travel itineraries and eco-tourism promotion.
Looking ahead, eco-tourism is expected to become widespread across Taiwan due to ongoing policy support, industry innovation, and growing awareness among travelers. With increased collaboration between tourism operators and consumers, Taiwan aims to safeguard its natural and cultural heritage while progressing toward its 2050 net-zero sustainability objectives.
