The coronavirus may have halted our 2020 travel plans (or any plans, period) but it has also given some of the world’s most popular tourist destinations a much-needed moment of rest. The world watched from home as videos were shared online of wildlife returning to city streets where crowds had once flocked. This pause in our globetrotting habits has inspired hopeful travelers to become more aware of the wider impact of their trips, with 53% to start looking for more sustainable ways to travel to reduce their footprint on the environment and local communities.
Unfollowing the crowd
Those planning to travel in 2021 have expressed a desire to avoid other tourists, with a spike in interest in exploring lesser-known destinations in the year ahead. Many travelers will also opt for alternative destinations for a number of other reasons, such as to avoid traveling during peak season (51%), overcrowding (48%), and overly busy tourist attractions (63%).
Putting a stop to plastic
Since the pandemic struck, travelers are also increasingly thinking twice about their consumption and waste while on vacation. More than half (53%) of global travelers are willing to reduce their waste and recycle their plastic when traveling once all restrictions are lifted.

Supporting local communities
Global travelers are aware of their impact more than ever, which will pave the way for more sustainable and regenerative travel in the future. Two-thirds (67%) of travelers indicated that they want their travel choices to support the recovery of the destinations they visit, and more than half (55%) want to see how their spending will go back into supporting local communities.
