Could Uptake Create An Eco Friendly Travel Section?
My Step Father, Robert, just posted about the economic viability of Uptake over on his Hawaii tourism study blog. Since Robert knows I’m into the whole green thing, he shot me over some information about Uptake’s CEO who has a blog called Simple Green Choices. This is a cool site that gives some interesting “green travel ideas”. My question is, why aren’t these environmentally friendly travel ideas over at Uptake? The reason I ask this is because Uptake has such a large reach, and since the whole green thing is such a big buzz word, I’m sure this would be an added bonus to visitors of Uptake’s travel website.
Check out these 3 sections for instance:
- Hawaii spas – I just visited an eco friendly spa for my honeymoon on the Big Island. Their are many of these in Hawaii.
- Hawaii golf courses – There are several golf courses that use recycled sewage water to keep their grass in tip top condition.
- Hawaii romantic things to do – There are several beaches in this section, including one of my favorites, Ke’e (great for watching sunsets with your honey). What better way to spend an eco friendly vacation then at the beach?
By creating an eco friendly travel section on Uptake, you could reach many more people. Plus you give travelers a choice of using companies and doing activities that are friendly to our natural resources. Now that would be a useful travel website!
