Mitu ya "Greening the Planet" yakhudza atolankhani ndi zinthu zochititsa chidwi kuphatikiza miyeso yosokonekera yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi/kumalo, nkhani zomwe zimapezeka mosavuta, kulimbikitsa atsogoleri otsogola komanso otsogola, kapena nkhani zatsopano zokhudzana ndi kukhazikika.
Chaka cha 2007 chinali chaka chodziwika bwino cha zokopa alendo. Zinabweretsa moto wamkati woyaka pang'onopang'ono m'manyuzipepala ndipo pambuyo pake unafika pachimake ndi nkhani zambiri zolembedwa za kusungidwa kwa chilengedwe mu 2008. Chaka chatha, atolankhani adawona ntchito zosiyanasiyana zobiriwira ndi machitidwe abwino. Atolankhani adawonanso kuphulika kwa nkhani zobiriwira komanso kuyang'ana kwambiri ku Greenland: zipewa zake zosungunuka, kukulitsa kwa polar ndi kusintha kwa polar zomwe zakhudza dziko lonse lapansi monga zikuwonekera ndi kusintha kwakukulu kwa kutentha kwa madigiri 1.4 padziko lonse lapansi ndi madigiri 4.5 pafupi ku mitengo.
"Ndiye mukufuna kukumana ndi kusintha kwanyengo? Pitani ku Greenland. Chifukwa cha zomwe zikuchitika ku Greenland, komwe kunkakonda kulimbikitsa kuthamangitsa agalu ndikusaka zisindikizo tsopano kumalimbikitsa phukusi la usodzi ndi kayaking panyanja. Ulendo wopita ku Greenland wasintha kwambiri. Ngakhale pali ntchito zochepa zopangira madzi oundana, palinso kuyenda panyanja chifukwa tsopano kuli madzi oundana ambiri, "atero a Paul Bennett, mlembi wa National Geographic Adventure komanso woyambitsa nawo Context Travel, woyambitsa masemina oyenda kwa apaulendo m'mizinda isanu ndi itatu padziko lonse lapansi. pa ASTA's TheTradeShow yomwe idachitika posachedwa ku Orlando, Florida.
Zokopa alendo zakhala zikukula pamlingo wa 9.5 peresenti pachaka padziko lonse lapansi ndipo zokopa alendo zokhazikika zakhala zikukulirakulira pafupifupi pafupifupi 25 peresenti pomwe magawo awiri mwa atatu aliwonse akuyenda ku America akunena kuti akuyembekeza kuti mahotela achite zambiri kuteteza chilengedwe ndi zikhalidwe zakomweko. Zotsatira zake, kampani iliyonse yoyendera alendo imadzitcha yobiriwira poyesa kukopa apaulendo ozindikira zachilengedwe.
Makanema apaulendo akhala akuyang'ana kwambiri nkhani za carbon. Kuyika kwa oyang'anira ndi zokopa alendo kumakhala kofunika kwambiri pamene ntchito zokopa alendo zikukula; utsogoleri wama projekiti ambiri akhala akukhudzidwa kwambiri ndi bizinesi yobiriwira yobiriwira komanso ma media obiriwira. Kukhudzidwa kwa zikhalidwe zakumaloko/kufalikira kwa zikhalidwe komanso momwe eni ake oyendera alendo angatenge nawo gawo kuwonetsetsa kuti zokopa alendo zikubwerera ndipo zikupanga maziko azikhalidwe ndi madera.
Pa ukapitawo, ntchito zambiri zokopa alendo padziko lonse lapansi zimayikidwa m'malo abwino. "Yang'anani zokopa alendo zomwe zimasamalira nkhalango, kapena ntchito zoyeretsa (monga Everest Expeditions yomwe inachotsa mabotolo a zinyalala kapena ntchito yoyeretsa monga Thames 21), ntchito zotetezera (monga Lapa Rios ku Costa Rica kapena Kapawi ) kapena mapulogalamu obwezera (monga Lindblad kapena Intrepid), adatero woyambitsa Context Travel.
Potsatira zotsatira za chikhalidwe cha anthu ndi zachuma, atolankhani adzawona zotsatira zonse za ntchito zokopa alendo, kuphatikizapo njira yoganiziridwa bwino komanso yofotokozedwa bwino kwa omwe ali ndi masheya am'deralo, mgwirizano ndi kugawana phindu (Kapawi), kupewa kugwiritsidwa ntchito (Masai), ndi makamu.

Kuyenda kobiriwira ndikosavuta kwa "greenwashing," zomwe Bennett amachitcha kuyesa kugwiritsa ntchito zidziwitso zobiriwira, monga kugula ngongole za kaboni, ndikunena zopanda pake kapena mabodza kuti alimbikitse zokopa alendo zowoneka bwino, zokhazikika komanso zosangalatsa kopita. . Makampani ambiri amadziyesa obiriwira pomwe sali obiriwira kwenikweni. Iwo amatsuka.
Othandizira oyendayenda okonda kubiriwira komanso atolankhani oyendayenda ayenera kuyang'ana mabizinesi okopa alendowa pamndandanda wautali wazochapira wazinthu zopanda pake kuphatikiza kuchapa matawulo kuhotelo, kugula zopatsa mphamvu za kaboni popanda kuchepetsa komwe munthu amakhala, "ghost maziko" kunja uko omwe sagwira ntchito kwenikweni. kuchotsera kaboni wa aliyense, machenjerero achinyengo a PR komanso kusowa poyera. Pazifukwa izi, nthawi zonse ndikwanzeru kukaonana ndi mabungwe oyang'anira, mabungwe oganiza bwino ndi makampani opereka ziphaso omwe apanga njira ndi mapulogalamu otsimikizira zamakampani azokopa alendo obiriwira.

“Nthaŵi zonse zoulutsira nkhani zimayang’ana nkhani yaikulu. Mpweya ndi njovu yobiriwira. Carbon ndiye SUV yamakampani oyendayenda ndipo atolankhani amayang'ana nthawi zonse mayankho ndi nkhani zazikulu monga Virgin Atlantic's bio-fuel test flight in spring 2008 on the Atlantic. Mayendedwe ake a carbon powoloka nyanja ya Atlantic ndi okulirapo kuposa kuyenda kwa tsiku ndi tsiku kupita ndi kuchokera kuntchito. Ulendo wodutsa panyanja ya Atlantic umapereka matani 150 a carbon, mofanana ndi kuyendetsa makilomita 500,000; ntchito zokopa alendo zikukula kwambiri.
