Help for students choosing accommodation<\/h2>\n

People who have little traveling experience may experience some difficulties while looking for a place for their stay. In particular, students find it challenging to select the right place for living abroad. Luckily, many blogs and writing services including the UK Writix<\/a> offer some information on this topic to ease the search process. They explain what students should take into account while making their choice and booking eco-accommodation. Environmentally-friendly tourism<\/strong> requires learning everything about saving water<\/a>, energy, and other natural resources. If you want to dig deeper into this topic and be able to detect whether a hotel\u2019s commitment to sustainability is superficial or serious, keep reading the article!<\/p>\n

Some tips for finding eco-accommodation<\/h2>\n

Check eco-certification<\/h3>\n

\"loghi<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there is no unified certification scheme to rule the world, which makes it harder to define if a hotel you are going to book meets your requirements. Experts say that there are more than 400 certification schemes in the tourism industry, some of which are more reputable than others.<\/p>\n

While checking eco-credentials you need to make sure that they are verified by independent parties. Eco certification<\/a> must cover all aspects of a hotel\u2019s operation and be performance-based. The good news is that you can see some searchable maps on the Internet to help you find certified eco-accommodation.<\/p>\n

\"Ecobnb<\/p>\n

If you visit the Ecobnb website<\/strong><\/a>, you can search places to stay at by region and type of accommodation. This organization operates in 40 countries and allows you to find a perfect setting for your holiday.<\/p>\n

Go beyond eco-credentials<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s important to note that certification is quite expensive and time-consuming so smaller hotels can skip it. But it doesn\u2019t matter that some of them are not eco-friendly. To check that, you can go to a sustainability section<\/strong> on their websites and read what actions they take to save the environment. For instance, they may offer filtered water in glass instead of plastic bottles, use 100% renewables, or compost food waste.<\/p>\n

\"ecobnb<\/p>\n

Even if you choose a small cheap accommodation, it can still have its heart in a sustainable place. Such hotels may mention on their website 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>, which means that they pursue green objectives like \u201csustainable cities\u201d and \u201cclimate action\u201d. Additionally, if you notice the 1% logo on a hotel\u2019s website, you can be sure that it\u2019s a member of 1% for the Planet and it donates 1% of its sales to some environmental organizations.<\/p>\n

\"UN<\/p>\n

Consider communes<\/h3>\n

The UK students on a budget would probably love the idea to save money by using hostels<\/a><\/strong> or house-swapping<\/strong>. These low-cost types of accommodation are naturally eco, without the need to be certified. Why so? Let\u2019s think!<\/p>\n

All backpacker hostels<\/strong> have eco-ethos since guests share rooms, use communal kitchens and living areas, which reduces each traveler\u2019s impact. House-swapping<\/strong> is another eco-friendly option because it allows tourism without building new hotels.<\/p>\n

Use a green hotel checklist<\/h3>\n

To make sure that you are going to book eco-friendly accommodation<\/strong>, create a checklist containing the most important points you want to see at your hotel. For instance, it may be essential for you to stay at a car-free place<\/strong> where it\u2019s allowed to use bikes<\/strong>, free shuttles<\/strong>, or public transport. You can also pay attention to the waste policy<\/strong> and check if the hotel is committed to reducing litter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Your checklist may include a point about being plastic-free<\/strong><\/a> and carbon-neutral<\/strong>. It\u2019s important for some individuals to stay at accommodations that are close to nature and have nature-based activities<\/strong> on offer, while others care about vegetarian or vegan options in a hotel menu<\/strong><\/a>. Some young people prefer places where seasonal, local and organic food<\/strong><\/a> is served, so you can also add it to your list. Finally, don\u2019t forget to check whether your accommodation is powered by renewable energy<\/strong><\/a> and if its owners try to reduce energy use.<\/p>\n

\"ecobnb<\/p>\n

Final thoughts<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not that easy to find an eco-hotel<\/strong> since popular websites such as Booking.com and Trivago aren\u2019t much help. Their filters like \u201cgreen hotel\u201d or \u201ceco-friendly\u201d do not always mean something. That\u2019s why you should be careful while choosing a place for your stay. Hopefully, this article gave you a better understanding of how to do it.<\/p>\n
