I don't usually talk about this, but those of you who already know me, know that for me traveling is something that goes far beyond knowing a new place or culture.
For me, traveling is a unique experience that marks the rest of the life of the person who does it and that is how I want to transmit it to my clients, recently in one of our trips I saw something that I did not like in a group, they throwed the wrappers of some sandwiches on the floor …
I had no choice but to draw their attention.
Look, I've done some research and the?World Tourism Organization (UNWTO)?estimates that 8% of global gas emissions are caused by tourism and could be around 40% in 2025 if nothing is done to prevent it.
we are aware of conscious and?#responsible?tourism. If the place you visit has no trash can, please ?? keep the packaging until you find one, it helps to preserve Nature and reduce environmental impact.
For more than 25 years we have practiced the Rule of the Three Rs: Reduce,?#recycle?and reuse, something fundamental in order to generate an ecological tourism and compensate the Carbon footprint in our trips
Do you, colleagues in the?#tourism?sector, use any measure of sustainability in your travels?
