Increased tourist traffic has a significant impact on the natural environment. Litter, noise, excessive consumption, as well as the destruction of flora and fauna – in some places, traveling has stopped being a pleasure and has become merely ticking off points on a list. Fortunately, we are not doomed solely to mass tourism. Eco-holidays are possible! Here are some practical tips on how to combine your passion for travel with care for the planet and thus make your vacation more environmentally friendly.

Choose an eco-friendly destination

First, look for an eco-friendly travel destination. Consider traveling to a place that promotes sustainable development, respects local culture and the environment. Germany, Switzerland, and the Scandinavian countries lead the way in this regard, but not only them. You can also spend an eco-friendly holiday in… Poland! A trip to the sea, mountains, or one of the natural parks will allow you to see your home country from a different perspective, appreciating its cultural and natural values.

Use public transport

Not only the place of stay – the mode of travel also affects your carbon footprint. Therefore, when going on vacation, consider environmentally friendly means of transport such as trains, buses, or electric cars. Also use bicycles, and for short distances, travel on foot. Choose airplanes only as a last resort, and only direct flights operated by carriers who invest in modern, innovative aircraft.

Respect local nature and culture

During your stay in a given place, it is important to respect the local culture and nature. Avoid damaging the natural environment: do not trample plants, do not leave trash, and do not scare wildlife. Buy products from local food producers and use small, family-owned restaurants – this way, you will not only support the local economy but, above all, gain unique experiences that will help you better understand the place you are visiting.

Book accommodation in a “green” hotel

If you want to travel responsibly, you must not forget about suitable accommodation. Look for facilities committed to environmental protection, which reduce water consumption, promote recycling, and use renewable energy sources. This includes the Gwiazda Morza resort in Władysławowo. As an ecological center, it offers not only comfortable conditions for its guests but also undertakes numerous initiatives aimed at reducing the negative impact on the surroundings. Through the use of modern technological solutions, including the construction of electric vehicle charging stations, Gwiazda Morza becomes a model for other tourist facilities, thus inspiring similar actions for sustainable tourism.


Eco-style holidays are not only a way to spend a great vacation but, above all, an opportunity to have a real impact on the world around us. So join this positive trend and make thoughtful decisions. Simply – make this world a better place!
