Practical tips for being a sustainable traveller this summer<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Real change doesn\u2019t just come from hotels, it also depends on the small decisions we make every day when we\u2019re travelling. Here are some simple ideas you can put into practice without too much hassle:<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Choose emission-free travel and protect the air<\/b><\/h4>\n

Whenever possible, opt for <\/span>public transport, walking<\/b> or <\/span>cycling<\/b>. It\u2019s the best way to <\/span>cut emissions<\/b> and, at the same time, explore your destination at a more leisurely pace. If you need a car, it\u2019s best if it\u2019s electric, hybrid or fuel-efficient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Save resources in your hotel room<\/b><\/h4>\n

We can still be responsible while we\u2019re on holiday.<\/span> Switch off lights and air conditioning when you leave the room, reuse towels<\/b> and take part in initiatives such as our \u201c<\/span>1 Song, 1 Shower<\/b>\u201d campaign to reduce water consumption but still have fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Zero waste on beaches and mountains<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you visit coves, mountains or trails, try to leave everything as you found it. Bring a <\/span>reusable bottle<\/b>, use <\/span>cloth bags<\/b> and always make sure you <\/span>pick up your rubbish.<\/b> It might seem trivial, but it makes a huge difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Respect marine and land biodiversity<\/b><\/h4>\n

Summer is perfect for activities like <\/span>snorkelling<\/b> or <\/span>kayaking<\/b>, but always tread carefully Be <\/span>respectful<\/b> of <\/span>seagrass meadows <\/b>and <\/span>avoid<\/b> touching or <\/span>disturbing marine life<\/b>. On land, <\/span>stick to marked paths <\/b>and <\/span>don\u2019t take <\/b>plants, stones or shells <\/span>as souvenirs<\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
