Prince Harry has launched an eco-travel campaign in New Zealand that is inspired by the values of the Maori people.
The pilot initiative encourages vacationers to consider sustainable options while planning their next trip through the use of a rating tool on the non-profit Travalyst.
The Duke of Sussex leads an organization that strives to make sustainable travel mainstream and to create systemic change.
There are 8 eco-friendly destinations.
Prince Harry appeared on the programme Te Ao with Moana to launch the campaign. He used the traditional greeting and farewell to show how the culture understands sustainable practices and how to take better care of life-giving land.
Harry urged visitors to form an authentic connection to nature, people and culture by supporting local communities.
The duke was in a video with New Zealand actors, Dave Fane and Rena Owen. They playratings agents who are trying to figure out a way to rate their visitors.
The skit shows the British prince being rated on his use of hotel towels, buying local honey, leaving water running while brushing his teeth and dropping litter during a previous trip to New Zealand with his wife.
The Tiaki Promise is an initiative spearheaded by Tourism New Zealand. Travelers are encouraged to support local communities, look after nature and wildlife, and act as a guardian of New Zealand now that the country has reopened its borders.
Travelers are urged to care for land, sea and nature while they are in New Zealand and not to dispose of trash. They should travel with care and consideration for all and respect the country's culture.
Every year, more and more people want better options, and for the first time, travelers are trying to make that a reality.
