Clean Breaks unearths hundreds of extraordinary travel ideas that are not only inspiring and unusual but that actually make a real difference in the lives of local people, and the planet. From the rustic, like sleeping in house-boats in Kerala or witnessing the zebra migration in Botswana, to the more chic, like taking the train-hotel from Paris to Madrid or an eco-wine tour in South Africa, this full-colour travel idea book is packed with 500 unforgettable travel ideas.

“What makes a Clean Break?  Essentially it’s about minimizing your environmental impact – on your journey and at your destination- by choosing carefully how you travel and the nature of the place you choose to stay at. It’s also about having a positive impact in other ways – by contributing where you can to the conservation of wildlife and local heritage, and supporting local economies.”

Authors Richard Hammond, Green Travel Correspondent for The Guardian and Jeremy Smith, former Editor of The Ecologist Magazine, combine cultural sensitivity with practical advice, hand-picking the best hotels, resorts, and tours run by earth-friendly people who are passionate about what they do, assuring a spectacular choice of trip ideas from up-and-coming eco-paradise Namibia to over a dozen great Canadian travel ideas including these:
