Home to Johannesburg, one of the world's largest man-made forests, Gauteng offers the responsible tourist a variety of green travel and tourism options that benefit local residents.

More and more Gauteng destinations now promote responsible tourism, with unique experiences that are carbon-friendly and make a positive contribution to the conservation of our natural and cultural heritage. Eco-certified hotels and organic restaurants and markets are making inroads into the green tourism industry, while enjoyable experiences such as walking and cycle tours offer the tourist a more meaningful connection with Gauteng and its residents.
