Kind Traveler Partnership
Visit San Luis Obispo has teamed up with Kind Traveler’s Every Stay Gives Back initiative to promote eco-conscious travel on California’s Central Coast.
Through this collaboration with Kind Traveler, SLO will offer real-time impact updates and communication resources, making it enjoyable and effortless for travelers to observe how their journeys positively affect the destination and discover additional ways to travel sustainably.
This fresh collaboration simplifies the process for individuals seeking to create a positive environmental impact, as they can now rest assured that merely staying in SLO will contribute to the betterment of both the community and the planet.
EVERY KEY HELPS PLANT A TREE
When you stay at a San Luis Obispo hotel, we use a portion of your room charge to plant 10,000 new trees around town. It’s part of our Keys for Trees program, a Visit San Luis Obispo initiative in partnership with EcoSLO. Help reduce carbon emissions by volunteering to plant trees, host trees or buy gifts to support the cause.
Take a SIP
Many SLO Coast wineries are SIP-certified, meaning they use sustainable growing and bottling practices that protect people and the planet. We’ll cheers to that!
