Booking an eco-friendly stay requires careful consideration of various factors to ensure that your choice aligns with sustainable and environmentally conscious practices.
Look for eco-certifications such as Green Key, LEED, or EarthCheck, which indicate that the accommodation meets specific environmental standards.
Check if the property uses energy-efficient lighting, robust recycling program, and environmentally friendly cleaning products and more.
Check if the accommodation offers organic, locally sourced, and seasonal food options.
Continue to practice sustainability by conserving water, reusing towels, and turning off lights and electronics when not in use.
Engage with local businesses and participate in eco-friendly tours and activities to support the local economy and reduce environmental impact.
Contact the accommodation directly and ask about their sustainability practices. Genuine eco-friendly properties will be transparent and eager to share their initiatives.
By following these practices, you can ensure that your stay contributes positively to the environment and supports sustainable tourism
