What is sustainable tourism

Finding a definition for the concept of sustainable tourism is not easy at all, and it is often just related to being surrounded by nature. But responsible tourism goes further beyond just respecting the environment, and it involves also economic and social impacts, present and future, that any single tourist can bring to the territory and to the communities living in it, still trying to satisfy the travellers' requests. An ethic and sustainable tourism is a challenge involving everyone and it takes very little to make a difference.

5 tips for a sustainable holiday

How to do it? Here are some simple tricks!

1.

1. Get informed about separate waste collection

Every town has its own rules regarding waste collection and it is very important to stay up-to-date about them, especially in case you are going to stay in a private house or apartment. Discover how to carry on a correct separate waste collection from the City Hall website or asking directly the landlord. In Caramanico Terme is currently active a door-to-door waste collection: for further info about this service visit the dedicated webpage.

2.

Traveling on public transports is certainly less polluting than using a car, and the village of Caramanico Terme is reachable by bus too. Once in the village, remember that you will be able to move easily on foot and that it is also possible to reach points of interest in the surrounding by bicycle.

3.

While hiking in the Maiella National Park or in the Orfento Valley it will be very hard to find a trash bin, but this does not mean we are allowed to leave tracks behind us! Remember to keep candy wrappers and small plastic envelopes in your pockets or in the backpack, to then get rid of them in the right trash can once at home.

4.

Before leaving for a hike in the surroundings of the village, fill your flask and do not use plastic bottles that will eventually end up empty in your backpack. At the same time, choose re-usable cutlery and crockery for your picnics and prefer digital tickes to be kept on your phone instead of paper ones. Nowadays many museums and events allow the access via digital tickets!
