And what are the alternatives? Recently, I’ve been researching this from every angle. But – and it’s a big but – until the aviation industry succeeds in reducing its carbon footprint, we can no longer call ourselves responsible travellers if we take inessential flights. Responsible tourism can bring many benefits, from addressing global inequality to safeguarding rare and endangered species. ![]() Why it is time to fly less, and make every flight count I have explored Australia’s beautiful East Coast in depth, from the lush tropical rainforest and coral cays of Far North Queensland, to the cosmopolitan cities of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne - making plenty of side-trips to dive the Great Barrier Reef along the way. My work as lead author of the Rough Guide to East Coast Australia and co-author of the Rough Guide to Australia has taken me on epic overland journeys through some of Australia’s most exciting locations. I have also covered many of the islands around Africa, including the Canary Islands, Madeira, Cape Verde, São Tomé & Príncipe, Zanzibar, Madagascar and Mauritius.Įpic overland journeys through some of Australia’s most exciting locations African lifestyles have already altered a great deal in the twenty-plus years I’ve been visiting.įrom my base in the UK, I have so far visited more than 30 countries in North, West, East and southern Africa, sampling everything from obscure music festivals to high-end conservation safaris. Many, many things draw me to Africa: the diverse cultures and rich ecology, of course, but also the fact that it’s an ancient continent poised on the brink of change. I’ve also turned my attention to travel opportunities and ideas that involve crossing countries and seas by electric vehicle, bus, train and ferry instead of by plane. I have a particular interest in eco-friendly independent travel, including wildlife-watching and cultural experiences. With this in mind, I focus on tourism initiatives and holiday activities that have a positive impact on habitats, biodiversity and fragile communities. Much of my published work is illustrated with my own photography, shot on location.Īs an editor, I handle commissioning, sub-editing, picture editing and project management for books, magazines, websites, e-books and apps.Īt this critical time, it feels more important than ever that we make travel more sustainable. Over the years, I’ve interviewed leading conservationists, naturalists and guides, including Sir David Attenborough and Dr Jane Goodall. My features and news stories appear in National Geographic Traveller, The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, Rough Guides, Travel Africa magazine and numerous other publications in the UK and worldwide, in print and online. I also cover sustainable travel and eco-adventures in the Americas, Australia, the UK and elsewhere, including low-carbon, flight-free holidays and journeys. I regularly report from Africa’s safari heartlands. About Emma Gregg I’m an award-winning travel journalist, editor, author and photographer, specialising in responsible and ethical tourism.
