Sustainable Travel International: Austria / Zell am See-Kaprun

➡ What does “sustainable travel” mean?
Holidaymakers living a sustainable day-to-day lifestyle usually aim to apply the same principles to their time off. Sustainable travel means being inspired and experiencing beautiful things - while being considerate of nature, climate protection and the locals living in the holiday region.
➡ Sustainable Travel International
The vision of Sustainable Travel International is a world in which tourism actively contributes to environmental and community well-being. Travel and tourism thus become active supports of intact nature, economic opportunities, social justice, and natural and cultural resources of travel destinations.
