EcoTourism
Ecotourism has become increasingly important to the future of Yellowstone National Park. The endless opportunities that await you in the Yellowstone Region can all be protected by your sustainable travel choices.
A winter vacation to Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding communities takes a bit of planning. How much time you are going to spend on each outdoor adventure activity is just as important as the sustainable travel choices you make before and during your visit. Ecotourism is especially important to the longevity of one the the nations most treasured national parks. Conservation of the natural resources in the Yellowstone area takes consideration on the visitors part just as much as it does by the park officials. By utilizing the ecotourism guidelines outlined below and following your own ethical standards we can all work together to protect what nature intended us to enjoy.
-Do your homework. Research hotels and tour companies that have Eco Tourism policies in place..
-Look for a lodging property that has eco friendly standards.
-Choose eco minded activities. Biking, hiking, whitewater rafting and kayaking can be green activities,
depending on the tour operator.
-Respect your environment. Leave a minimal impact on your surroundings so that others may enjoy it for years to come.
-Request paperless communication. Invoicing and receipts can all be done electronically.
-Go local. Support local companies and organizations that employ environmentally sensible practices.
