Climate Change is rewriting the rules of the game. You can take a step toward a better future by choosing the countries and hotels that stand out with environmentalist policies and sustainability projects in your holiday plans.
CHOOSE ECO-FRIENDLY DESTINATIONS
If you had opportunity, which place would you go first? Does this place run environmental protection projects? According to us, you must do research and take note of these criteria before choosing your holiday destination. We firmly believe that you would not contribute the tourism of an irresponsible country that pollutes the world… According to the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) 2020 report conducted by Yale University; Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland, England, and France are the top five countries that are most aware of that issue. 2021 Green Living Rankings indicates that Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Japan and Finland are in the top five most eco-friendly country. While reviewing your post-pandemic holiday plans, we kindly recommend you give these countries and the hotels with the highest environmental awareness a chance.
FIND A PIONEER HOTEL IN SUSTAINABLITY
Bamboo towels are the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to ecological hotels! However, that’s not all. Also, a hotel must use completely solar energy and water-saving system; feature zero-use plastic and recycling garbage and eco-friendly products and cosmetics in hotel cleaning including pool and spa; includes seasonal, organic and local products in its kitchens; support the local culture and the communities and to consider afforestation in landscaping. You must be careful to choose resorts that have implemented projects in these fields and supported them with certificates. Besides, before booking you can do a research and request relevant certificates and documents from resorts.
