Sustainability, a trend that can no longer be ignored. More and more people are aware of the impact of travel on the environment and therefore want to travel to their destinations in a sustainable way. In this blog, we discuss what exactly sustainable travel entails and which destinations are suitable for it.
What is sustainable travel?
Sustainable travel means having as little negative impact on the environment and local people as possible during your trip. This can be done, for example, by choosing a destination closer to home, traveling by train or other public transportation instead of plane. It is also better to buy local products, this way you support local entrepreneurs and avoid the need for transportation, which is polluting. You can also choose to stay in sustainable accommodation. Ecoresort, green parks and self-sufficient accommodations are becoming increasingly popular. Reducing waste and avoiding the use of plastic is also important in sustainable travel.
Trend of sustainable travel
Sustainable travel is not a new concept, but it is a trend that is gaining popularity. People are becoming more aware of the impact of their travel habits on the environment and want to travel to a different destination in a sustainable way. We are becoming a little more frugal with our planet. Which is a very positive development. The trend of sustainable travel continues to grow as more and more people see its value. Travelers not only want to enjoy beautiful destinations, but also want to contribute to their preservation.
