Every time we traveled we kept something of each destination in our hearts. However there should be no sign of our passing in the destination we are visiting. That´s why we like to share with you this 6 tips to become an eco-friendly tourist:

1. Support the local economy (besides the Economy office 😉 )

Buy local products and support the families involved. In the process you will absorbe the culture of the destination.

Many national parks are sustained mostly by their own income. So buy tickets, t-shirts, anything that can help them staying alive.

4.Use natural resourses with moderation.

From tap water to air conditioning, the more moderation you have the more you will contribute.

5. Eat local

By consuming local products you will contribute with the local development, besides local products have no importation and associate expenses, with less impact on the environment.

6. Choose travel companies that respect the human rights and the environment.
