New York State holiday, USA

Planet

There are some great opportunities for getting off the beaten track in New York State, especially in such unspoilt regions such as the Adirondack Mountains and the Finger Lakes. We are committed to the preservation of these pristine environments and in promoting “no-trace” tourism – ensuring visitors are able to enjoy and learn from their visit whilst ensuring their visit does not have a detrimental impact. We strive to ensure these beautiful areas offer sustainable boardwalks and designated walking paths and that local suppliers of outdoor adventure activities such as canoeing and mountain biking conform to sustainable environmental practices. Whilst some parts of the state are very difficult to reach without a hire car, some parts are easily reached by public transport; trains to various places in up-state New York offer an attractive sustainable alternative to driving for many visitors. We can also offer walking, segway and sailing boat tours of New York City – far more sustainable ways of exploring the city.

People

We are committed to encouraging sustainable tourism within New York State, so that local people are able to benefit from visitors to the region. We provide all our clients with suggestions for restaurants that are locally owned and run, and that offer a commitment to source local produce. We also like to promote local farmers’ markets, wineries, and independent shops that sustain local livelihoods, all of which ensures that local people benefit from tourism, and that every visitor contributes to the local economy.
