Minimize food waste
Plan your meals before your trip to reduce food waste. Opt for smaller portions, request food to be packed in containers, and choose restaurants that prioritize sustainability.
Choose environmentally friendly transportation
Utilize public transportation when exploring cities. Trains, subways, and buses are energy-efficient and offer insights into local culture and lifestyle.
Support sustainable economies
Share your eco-tourism experiences online, highlighting their benefits and encouraging your audience to travel in environmentally friendly ways.
Dispose of waste responsibly
Remember to separate your trash and carry trash bags to clean up after yourself in areas without proper waste disposal options.
Embrace digital alternatives
In today's digital age, utilize digital maps, guides, menus, news, and e-tickets on your smartphone to minimize paper usage during your vacation. If possible, opt for digital services to reduce reliance on paper.
