Sustainability matters to UK travelers now more than ever. Recent research shows that a vast majority of British travelers say they want to travel more sustainably, with around 93% expressing interest in sustainable travel options when planning trips (up significantly over the past decade). However, many travelers are also skeptical of vague “green” claims, with 57% believing that travel brands exaggerate sustainability without evidence.
