Recently among millennial travelers, a more organic landscape is trending. By organic landscape we are talking about cultural sites, natural design/scenery for venturesome travel and unique places to take the best “candid” picture and eat the best food.
“Earthships” is one of our most popular New Mexico True Television videos and helps us further tap into the trending sustainable tourism market where visitors spend more and stay longer. Earthships are clean and reduce carbon footprints. They are something new and unique.
Sustainable destinations as such are a draw for young adult travelers. These visitors are independent, eco-conscious, crave adventure and, moreover, are looking for off-the-radar travel experiences.
