Intrepid Travel, considered a leader in the sustainable tourism space with its low carbon footprint and locally-led small group tours, showed it was moving past platitudes by launching a new kind of conservation-focused tour that aims to be the antidote to those big crowds visiting the same places in southern Europe, says Lebawit Lily Girma from Skift. It’s partnering with the MEET Network to do that, an association of protected areas in the Mediterranean that creates sustainable tourism products with the goal of benefitting conservation and communities.

We want to make sure we can help in places that are lesser known but probably as beautiful, if not more, and as interesting.
