Hello and welcome to today’s live Travel chat. The topic is green travel and eco-tourism.  

We’re joined by Richard Hammond and Jeremy Smith, co-authors of Clean Breaks, the new Rough Guide to eco-friendly holidays…

….and Ginny McGrath, Times Online Assistant Editor.

Welcome everyone and thanks for being here today.

So, is green travel something that you care about? Has the recession altered your opinion on eco-holidays? Or are they an oxymoron?

We’re waiting for your questions and comments, and will try to answer as many as possible.
