With the rise in tourism worldwide, a greater number of tourists are planning eco-friendly trips in order to lessen their carbon footprint without deprivation of an authentic cultural adventure. (New York, New York) – Travelers are uniting amid consternation of global warming and how travel impacts the environment. Said globe-trotters are searching for travel companies that offer low-impact, eco-friendly and greener travel options without sacrificing the thrill of yet-explored lands. Vacationers, sightseers and backpackers alike are leaving behind western lands diligently seeking to learn more about the world. At the top of many voyagers list are Muslim nations such as Morocco, which has been open to the modern western traveler for decades. “People are bombarded by the media about just how unsafe the world is, especially Muslim countries. North Africa is removed from the Middle East, but the culture and heritage is present. It’s an exotic country with an exotic appeal,” explains Thomas Hollowell who owns and operates the cultural, eco-tour adventure company, Journey Beyond Travel, LLC. “More people in the US and Canada are beginning to recognize the world as one international community. And, with the new focus on environmental fragility, they are also thinking about tours that don’t harm the Earth.” With just under one billion travelers venturing to distant lands worldwide, Morocco, North Africa is booming in travel and tourism. With the tourist influx, tour companies are being sought to fill the gap. “These aforementioned tourists are looking for something more than your average snapshot, along with an overcrowded bus tour,” says Hollowell. “We offer private- and set-date tours encompassing the entire country or active agendas of walking tours, trekking in the High Atlas Mountains, or biking, and even horseback riding. We’re always thinking of ways to improve travel in little ways; small plans for bigger change.” So, while conflicts abroad top most political agendas, those who pack their bags and head to distant lands are finding their thirst for adventure quenched. And, those who travel to Muslim countries are not only experiencing adventure, but are correcting a slanted view of a people, cultural, and religion not well explained in media outlets. Founded in 2004, Journey Beyond Travel offers cultural, eco-friendly and active Morocco tours. Journey Beyond Travel offers private, set-date, and customized tours in Morocco with offices in both the United States and Morocco. With foreign and local employees, Journey Beyond Travel is setting a new standard for travel in foreign lands.
