Sustainable tourism<\/strong> is an issue close to our hearts. Our way of life is increasingly oriented towards offering us and to the world a better present and future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Every potential choice we make has an ecological footprint, and it is the sum of these choices that determines the fate of planet earth and the well-being<\/strong> of human beings.<\/p>\n\n

From waste collection<\/strong>, to travelling on public transportation<\/strong>, to using reusable water bottles<\/strong>, these are just a few simple examples to show how we can make a more sustainable<\/strong> choice in our every day.<\/p>\n\n

But if these are examples that are more or less clear to everyone, what do we mean when we talk about sustainable tourism<\/strong> and why is bike touring<\/strong> a virtuous example of this?<\/p>\n\n

Let’s find out together how to choose a healthy lifestyle even when travelling, for a better sustainable mobility<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

What is sustainable tourism? (meaning and definition)<\/h2>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n
\"woman<\/figure>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

Sustainable tourism is a new,<\/strong> and in some ways still unknown, way of approaching travel<\/strong>. This way of travel, places all its focus on environmental friendliness and degradation<\/strong>, with an eye towards the local economy and culture.<\/p>\n\n

This means that a sustainable traveller organizes his or her stay in a tourist location in such a way that it has the least possible impact on the environment<\/strong> and, where possible, supports local realities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

This definition of sustainable tourism therefore also includes what is called responsible tourism<\/strong>, i.e. the realisation that there is also an ethical impact of one’s holiday in a new location.<\/p>\n\n

Differences between sustainable and non-sustainable tourism<\/h2>\n\n

Today, choosing of approaching tourism in a different way<\/strong> means wanting to support the thin and delicate balance that exists between the beauty of sharing<\/strong> goods, knowledge and local wealth with the rest of the world, and the desire and the need to preserve them <\/strong>to the best of our ability, thus triggering a virtuous circle that can increase the quality of life for residents and, at the same time, ensure unforgettable experiences for travelers.<\/p>\n\n

Not supporting environmentally sustainable<\/strong> tourism means supporting types of tourism that promote (even unknowingly) pollution, disproportionate price and cost-of-living increases, environmental degradation, and the loss of the identity and traditions of a people or region.<\/p>\n\n

The characteristics of sustainable and responsible tourism<\/h3>\n\n

The most dedicated approach to the pursuit of sustainable travel can be summed up in the concept of ecotourism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Ecotourism<\/strong>, in its broadest sense, means perpetuating a way of travelling in natural areas, preserving the environment and supporting the wellbeing of local populations.<\/p>\n\n

This definition includes the topic of sustainable and responsible tourism<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Practising sustainable and responsible tourism means consciously using<\/strong> resources and helping to preserve<\/strong> natural heritage and biodiversity. And not only that, but also respecting<\/strong> the human heritage and authenticity of local populations by preserving traditional values and introducing the theme of intercultural understanding.<\/p>\n\n

Sustainable tourism in Italy<\/h2>\n\n

Today, the topic of sustainable tourism<\/strong> is gaining momentum in Italy.<\/p>\n\n

At the cost of some sacrifices, many choose more environmentally friendly options, heading for facilities that offer eco-friendly solutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Italy is increasingly going green<\/strong>, promoting initiatives such as no-smoke and plastic-free beaches.<\/p>\n\n

Examples and ideas of sustainable tourism in Italy<\/h3>\n\n

There are many Italian resorts that choose to promote the well-being and authenticity of the area<\/strong>, offering increasingly sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n\n

Sardinia, like Liguria and Trentino are actively moving to ensure more and more sustainable structures, such as avoiding new constructions and implementing spaces and services in historic villages.<\/p>\n\n

But it is possible, in small travel choices, to be the first promoters of more sustainable travel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Take a look, for example, at all the bike routes<\/a><\/strong> that Bikeit offers.<\/p>\n\n

Cycle tourism and cycling routes: an example of sustainable tourism excellence<\/h2>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n
\"cycling<\/figure>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

Choosing cycle tourism<\/strong> is a beautiful step towards the environment.<\/p>\n\n

Indeed, the bicycle is the ecological means of transport par excellence, and cycle tourism is a very simple form of environmentally and territorially sustainable tourism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In addition to bei a simple and effective way to approach a sustainable style of cycling vacation<\/strong>, it is also a good way to experience a sporty and healthy vacation<\/strong> in an easy way.<\/p>\n\n

Sustainable tourism, can also be an excellent opportunity to experience an ecotourism adventure<\/strong>, fully immersed, for most of the time, in nature and traditions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

After all, as Kennedy said: “Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bicycle ride<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n
