Sustainable tourism in Trentino. This is why we want to be eco-friendly!
In the last decade new forms of tourism have been developed. They are very sensitive to environmental impact such as ecotourism or sustainable tourism: more and more people are looking for a green hotel for their holiday, especially in the mountains and in Trentino. So we we made it our responsibility to play our part at the Good Life Garden Hotel in the Ledro Valley.
But what are sustainable tourism, ecotourism or responsible tourism?
Sustainable tourism assesses the effects of tourism on the environment in terms of pollution and environmental degradation. Instead, responsible tourism focuses on the ethical impact on the local population and on the economic and social development of the area. Today, however, sustainability and responsibility are not mutually exclusive but complement one another, according to the Italian Association for Responsible Tourism. Ecotourism includes them and, according to the International Ecotourism Society, it is defined as: “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people”.
