Prince Harry just launched a new travel initiative, Travalyst, which aims to make travel more eco-friendly, beneficial to local communities, and low-impact.
“Travel has the unparalleled power to open people’s minds to different cultures, new experiences, and to have a profound appreciation for what our world has to offer,” he said in a statement. “As tourism inevitably grows, it is critically important to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices worldwide; and to balance this growth with the needs of the environment and the local population.” And it’s not just the palace backing him up—corporate heavyweights TripAdvisor, Booking.
Although Buckingham Palace said further details about specific initiatives will be announced later, we do have an idea of the agenda Travalyst will promote. In a press release, it stated “supporting local people, protecting wildlife, tackling climate change and environmental damage, and alleviating over-tourism,” as its main goals.
It’s a natural fit for the noted conservationist, who has taken a stand against elephant poaching, and counts the African Parks Foundation and Rhino Conservation Botswana as some of his patronages.
