Sustainable travelling

Travelling is among the crucial parts of the human lifestyle. It connects people from around the world and create new experiences. But have you ever thought about sustainable travelling & slow travelling?

Sustainable travel or sustainable tourism is tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, meeting the needs of visitors, tourism professionals, the environment and host communities. (World Tourism Organisation - WTO)

With slow travelling you take the time to connect to local people and local culture. It takes you back to the roots of why we travel: living that authentic experience and really getting to know the country, its people and culture.

Travelling is not about how many places you have visited or the number of kilometres travelled in 2 weeks. It’s about the quality of your experience. Slow travelling relies on the idea that a trip is meant to educate and have an emotional impact, while remaining sustainable for local communities and the environment.
