The travel industry is changing fast. People now want to travel in ways that help the planet. The 2025 Global Vision Awards by Travel + Leisure (T+L) celebrate the best ideas in sustainable travel. These awards honor hotels, destinations, and companies that are making travel greener and more responsible.
This year, the awards focused on three key areas: eco-friendly hotels, community-based tourism, and green transportation. Many winners showed how small changes can make a big difference. For example, some hotels now use solar power and recycle water. Others work with local communities to create jobs and protect wildlife.
One standout winner was a resort in the Maldives. It uses renewable energy and grows its own food. Guests can learn about marine conservation and even help plant coral reefs. Another winner was a tour company in Costa Rica. It offers trips that support rainforest conservation and local schools.
The awards also highlighted new technology. For example, some companies are using electric vehicles and drones to reduce carbon emissions. Others are creating apps that help travelers find eco-friendly options.
T+L’s Global Vision Awards show that sustainable travel is not just a trend—it’s the future. By choosing eco-friendly options, travelers can help protect the planet while still enjoying amazing experiences.
The 2025 winners prove that innovation and responsibility can go hand in hand. As more people demand greener travel, the industry is stepping up to meet the challenge. These pioneers are leading the way to a better future for travel and the planet.
