If you don’t know how Circular Economy<\/strong> and Tourism<\/strong> are related, find it out in the Ecobnb’s Guide.<\/p>\n

What’s about the Circular Economy?<\/h2>\n

The Circular Economy<\/strong><\/a>, is an economic system that aims to reduce waste<\/strong> and to regenerate products and services. This innovative economic system is based on the philosophy of ‘Remake, Reuse, Recycle<\/strong>‘, so that when it’s possible this type of economy reuses and reintroduces materials on the market. However, it’s important to consider that the battle against L<\/strong>inear Economy<\/strong>, based on ‘Produce, use, throw<\/strong>‘, hasn’t been won yet. This happens in the tourism field as well, although the circular tourism economy is constantly growing. Unfortunately, the linear economy is still predominant.<\/p>\n

Is Tourism Environmentally Unsustainable?<\/h2>\n

People are always traveling all over the world, choosing mostly long-distance destinations but, this implies the emission of greenhouse gases<\/strong>. In fact, these are mainly produced by cruises and planes, which in the tourism industry generate\u00a075% of CO2 emissions<\/strong>. The means of transport chosen could have a negative impact on the environment, no matter how eco-friendly your holiday is!<\/p>\n

\"Air<\/p>\n

Nowadays low-cost airlines<\/strong> sponsor fast travel, tourism which propose faster travel for longer distances at lower prices. At the same time, cruises companies<\/strong> sell All-Inclusive<\/strong> packages, which are damaging the delicate balance of some unique ecosystems. All these represent an obstacle for Green and sustainable Tourism.<\/p>\n

Reducing the negative impact traveling has on the earth is surely the key goal of the future concept of the tourism industry.<\/p>\n
