HOW TO BE AN ECOTOURIST?
8 STEPS FOR SMART TOURISM

RESPECT

The area you visit is very important and at the same time sensitive. Learn the rules of the places to avoid affecting them negatively! That way you will be safe too.

NO WASTE

Feel and act like home! Do not ask to change towels and sheets every day. Save water and electricity!

NO DISTURBANCE

Respect for the inhabitants must be as important as that for nature. Do not disturb the local people in any way with your presence!

LOCAL ECONOMY

Contribute to the well-being of the community! Buy products from locals and look for services offered by local people, such as guiding and cultural activities.

MINIMUM WASTE

Recycle and reuse! Avoid non-recyclable products and packaging. Under no circumstances leave waste on nature trails! Avoid lighting fires in unfurnished spaces.

ANIMALS AND PLANTS

Do not harm in any way the animals and plants you will meet! Don’t pluck flowers or feed wild animals! On nature trails make your presence felt as little as possible!

ECO ACTIVITIES

Choose healthy and low-impact activities during your stay: hiking, cycling, cultural visits, educational activities, paragliding, ski touring and the like.
