ECOTOURISM
Sustainable travel is booming! Given the growing attention for our environment that has developed in recent years this of course makes a lot of sense. We’re becoming increasingly aware of our impact on the environment and we try to do our part to contribute to the protection of the environment and the most beautiful nature spots. It’s why sustainability is also increasingly on our minds when we travel.
How to: Sustainable travel!
Naturally, there are a lot of ways to travel sustainably. At its core, sustainable travel means considering how you can best protect nature, the environment, local cultures and sometimes human rights while travelling. For instance, through your choice of destination, transport, accommodation or activities, as well through what you do while you’re on holiday. Lots to think about in other words!
Thankfully, several organisations will be on hand at the Holiday Fair that can point you in the right sustainable travel direction.
- Emotion Planet: sustainable, responsible holidays to Africa, Asia and Latin America. Slow tourism at its best.
- Huttopia: beautiful stays in the middle of French nature that will leave you completely relaxed.
- Nature & Terroir: organised trips to the great outdoors, with both remote and closer-to-home locations
- Greentripper: a tool that helps you calculate – and offset – the impact of your holiday so you can make a valuable contribution to vital climate projects while travelling.
- Sensations: tailored trips that combine sustainability with local impact.
- Natuurpunt/Natagora: a local, independent association of volunteers committed to protecting nature that is fragile and nature that is under threat.
- Eneco Clean Beach Cup: join this beach clean-up effort organised by Eneco on Sunday March 22 and help them draw attention to our plastic pollution problem. Small effort, big impact!
