New encouraging data for sustainable tourism: 68% of tourists prefer to book an eco-friendly accommodation. The data are from Booking.com, which has carried out in 2016 a global survey, to understand at what point sustainable tourism is \u00a0and what is the perception that travelers from around the world of have on eco-friendly hotels.<\/h3>\n

The Sustainable Travel Report<\/strong> reveals that 42%<\/strong> of respondents consider themselves a sustainable travelers,<\/strong> with data that vary between different countries. The percentage reaches 72% among Chinese and falls up to 25% in Japan. But if two-thirds of travelers say they are more inclined to choose an accommodation, if they knew that this is eco-compatible, 65% say\u00a0had not stayed or did not know whether they\u00a0stayed in a hotel that respects the environment. Our network, with more than 2,500 eco-friendly accommodations in the world, makes searching and booking hotels, cottages, bed and breakfasts, camping, and any other type of accommodation that\u00a0are investing in a greener world<\/strong> very simple and immediate.<\/p>\n

However, Sustainable Travel Report\u00a0by\u00a0Booking.com also reveals that there are still those who are unfamiliar with sustainable tourism and eco-friendly hotels. Among those who have not planned to stay in a hotel like this for the next 12 months, 39% said that the reason is that they did not even know the existence of this type of accommodation. Also some have a wrong idea of \u200b\u200bwhat it means to sleep in a sustainable accommodation: \u00a0someone of the interviewed, as\u00a0reason why\u00a0they choose\u00a0not to book an eco-friendly hotel, have stated that they consider this type of accommodation less luxurious than others. It is still too widespread the idea that sustainable accommodation\u00a0are somewhat spartan and uncomfortable, but instead they are wonderful hotels investing in clean energy<\/strong>, offering local<\/strong> and organic<\/strong> food<\/strong>, using the latest construction techniques.<\/p>\n

We must therefore continue to improve and promote sustainable tourism, but are still many conscious<\/strong> travelers<\/strong>, eager to respect the environment while on vacation. 62% of subjects who responded to the survey has confirmed their\u00a0intention to stay at eco-friendly hotels\u00a0and 50% have considered to\u00a0visit a destination only for its environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n

And if there is a growth in demand, also the offer fits. A second study of Booking.com, conducted on more than 5,000 accommodation, reveals that an increasing number of hotels\u00a0have decided to invest in environmental protection.<\/p>\n
