How to Find a Travel Agent for Your Green Trip 

Every once in awhile you need a travel agent. Travel agents are great for a number of things when it comes to trip planning, especially for complicated trips. Tripology actually offers 101 reasons to use a travel agent.

Travel agents can be helpful for green travel because they can point you to specific eco-friendly destinations and tours. If you’re unsure of where to turn to or don’t have time to plan your green trip, you might want to find a travel agent.

Here are a few places to where you can find a travel agent for green travel:

Tripology is actually a really awesome resource for finding a travel agent. And it’s free. You just fill out a few details and travel agents will contact you with a customized trip itinerary.

ASTA ~ The American Society of Travel Agents offers a special green certification. Use their search feature to find a green travel agent.

We are not travel agents, but we do offer some green travel consulting. If you’re interested, contact us. With this searches it’s really easy to find a travel agent. And with Tripology, it doesn’t cost a thing to get a quote and see if it’s a good option for you.

It’s easy to search Green Travel

Can you save the environment with reusable water bottles, shopping locally, and public transportation? Yes! All of it helps. Yet in the past, it has been somewhat challenging with regards to traveling.

It was difficult to travel as green as you live at home. We are at the mercy of what is available when traveling.

While there may ultimately be viable green choices, we may not know about them or where or how to access them. Fortunately, there are options we have now that weren’t available years ago.

When you are online searching  to make your travel plans, your first stop should be to search Green Travel.

Traveling green is easy, and it allows you to make a bigger environmental impact. Having all the prices right at your fingertips, you can see if purchasing the greener option fits in your budget. Here’s how to search for green travel.

Search Green Travel for Plane Tickets, Hotels, Rental Cars & Trips

It is easier than ever to find eco-friendly travel options, and the choices are plentiful. You can now find everything from environmentally-friendly rental cars, green and LEED hotels, direct flights, green dining options, ride shares, hotel shuttles, public transportation, green cruise lines, green tours, and more.

Which companies are really green?

Research companies you travel with to determine how green they are. What are the company’s environmental and social policies, practices and performance? In what ways do they give back to their community? What steps are they using to use local products and equipment? Where are their goods produced? How do they care for their employees? What are they doing to focus on preservation and sustainability worldwide?

Looking for green travel deals

What is great about searching online is that you are no longer at the mercy of travel agents. You can easily find out all the prices, compare them from company to company, and make a purchase/schedule a reservation immediately. It is simple to find the best travel deals on the web.

The easiest way to travel green is to search green travel

Now, you can be green from the start of your trip planning. Take advantage of advanced search options to further your green search. Then do your homework by comparing prices. If you have time, take it a step further and not only pick the greenest transportation or trip possible, but also the greenest company.

Check it out and spread the word

Make an even bigger difference by telling your eco-conscious traveler friends and family about it. When you are traveling with others, make sure they are aware of these green travel search options.

Alone, we can’t stop melting glaciers, receding coastlines, or disappearing forests. But together, we can do a little bit more to make sure our favorite destinations are still there when we go back.

Eco-conscious travelers already know the impact of recycling and other green practices. Continue to make a positive difference and give back each time you search green travel and choose a green travel option.

    An excellent restaurant to hang out!!

    Ok…I know I am a foodie and have travelled quite a bit and been to lot many places but the one city which is always an extension of mine is undoubtedly New York. I am proud to wear my Nike NY cap and cheer my Basketball team without fail. I have been to almost all the food joints, restaurants, pubs and bars located in Manhattan and I must say they all are pretty good considering this age of twittering and Face book wherein if you fail once your name pops up on all the social networking websites with negative comments. This is a welcome change becoz ultimately we the customers become the king as shoddy service or bad quality food can easily land the owners into trouble.

    But the one place which has succeeded in amazing me is the newly refurbished Restaurant named Point Break. Formerly named as Nation Restaurant & Bar, Point Break is a new Surf Bar located in the heart of mid-town Manhattan. Now I remember sometime back I had been to this place when it had the old look and feel and I thought ok..seems to be an average place..what’s the big deal? But even during my last visit when it was still in its old shape it served me excellent food and the service was razor sharp. So last Saturday when one of my friend threw a party and told me the venue to be a swanky new outlet which he was speaking so highly about I thought ok..let’s try this one too. When he told me about the address I wasn’t sure it was the same place but when I reached there the whole look and feel from Outside was changed and once I entered in, the earlier known Nation was truly looking like a break from the past and hats off this guy, I don’t remember the name of the owner, but he has rightly renamed it as Point Break!! It appeals to the newer generation guys like me. We had a great time there. The menu featured old classics and new additions. I loved the wheel o’ shots which made me crazy!! I had the fish tacos which was delicious..yummeee and it has got plenty of room for parties, the DJ that they had was great, excellent sound system as well and the drinks were strong and I had a look at the menu and thought the prices were pretty good.

    Guys on top of it the next day when I searched this place on the internet, this restaurant has a Face book page too wherein they post photos and updates of recent happenings/parties and upcoming events/parties/offers too. They tweet also which is really nice thinking by the owner.

    Anyways not wanting to sound like a paid blogger I would say as a foodie this restaurant is a nice one and I would not hesitate to give my recommendation for it to my guests coming in from out of town. Go and try once and do not hesitate to leave a comment once you are there. I know I am only going to get thumbs up from you all!!!

    Ciao…

    John Smith, NYC
