Here they are: The 5 greenest destinations of 2025

January 6, 2025December 21, 2024 by Christopher Elliott

Sustainability has become a marketing buzzword lately. But these five nations are the real deal: Here are the world’s greenest destinations.

Categories Destinations
Eastern Germany's sustainability focused tourism is flourishing, with eco-resorts like Biostadt Schmilka leading the way. Once an abandoned village, it now thrives as a certified "bio" resort, conserving natural resources and promoting organic living. Across the region, sustainability is integrated into all aspects of tourism, from compost heating at work retreats like Coconat to the natural life cycle education at Harz National Park. This green movement is not just a trend but a deeply rooted approach, making sustainability selbstverständlich – a natural, expected part of life in this region.

The Biostadt Schmilka, a sustainable resort on the bank of the Elbe river near the Czech border, looks like every other German village. There’s a Gasthaus and homes with immaculate gardens and fruit trees, and the river with colorful kayaks floating downstream.
