Let’s discover the most important green labels for sustainable tourism and how to recognise them<\/h2>\n

In the last years, due to a new consciousness<\/strong> for environmental topics, it has developed a new tendency<\/strong> in the way of travelling. More and more people<\/a> don\u2019t see any more travels as just a moment of relaxation, but they want to be as much eco-friendly as possible also on holiday. For this reason, governments and organisations have created green labels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Green labels guarantee sustainability<\/strong>. To avoid the attempts of greenwashing, green labels<\/strong> help travellers and consumers to identify touristic accommodations, goods and services that respect the environment, communities and customs and traditions.<\/p>\n

In order to help conscious travellers, governments and associations have created numerous green labels that accommodations get by respecting rigorous criteria<\/strong>. The labels indicate that the accommodation\u2019s performance is environmentally positive, because of the strategies adopted<\/strong>, which respect both the territory and its inhabitants. Consequently, travellers can easily recognise accommodations that work hard to preserve the environment<\/strong> as well as communities<\/strong> and their customs and traditions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These labels guarantee sustainability<\/strong> because they protect consumers against the attempt of greenwashing<\/a>. In fact, some companies provide disinformation in order to build up an environmentally responsible facade.
\nBut it doesn\u2019t end here. Labels guarantee also that certain products and services<\/strong> are sustainable and help to preserve our Planet.<\/p>\n

Not only respect for the environment<\/h2>\n

When companies and accommodations get the labels, the environmental aspect isn\u2019t the only one taken into account. In fact, two\u00a0more<\/strong>\u00a0categories\u00a0<\/strong>are included: the social and economic aspect<\/strong> and the cultural<\/strong> one.<\/p>\n
