Why not travel sustainably?
Green Travel
When traveling, we can, by making proven choices, travel and vacation more sustainably. In this way, we can take social responsibility for the environment and local economic growth. It is about taking care of nature, having respect for other people and their culture and about behaving, as a good guest should, in the country you are visiting. By experiencing other cultures and meeting other people, we gain a better understanding of the world we live in.
Making conscious choices does not have to be at the expense of the overall vacation experience. On the contrary, it can give the holiday a new dimension. If you travel on holiday with children, you may also find that the younger generation is easily engaged.
