Zion National Park Sustainable / Environmental Travel & Eco Friendly Resources

No matter to what extent your eco minded plans are for your upcoming visit to the Zion area, we encourage you to support the ecotourism options offered by local businesses as well as the following organizations. We hope your experience in Zion makes a lasting impression on you rather than on the environment.

Sustainable Tourism, in its entirety, is focused on sustaining and supporting the natural environment and culture through development and education to generate income and employment for the local community.

Ecotourism is a form of sustainable travel focusing more on specific areas where natural beauty and cultural heritage tend to be the main attraction. Businesses with programs focused on minimization of their impact on the natural environment can consider themselves part of the ecotourism industry.
