Sustainable Tourism
Winters in Poland used to be much colder, with heavy snowfall guaranteed every year, creating picturesque, snowy landscapes. However, due to global warming, the climate has noticeably changed, making sustainable tourism the least dedicated travellers can do to help protect the environment at no extra cost.
According to sustainable tourism insights shared by the European Commission, the key challenges for sustainable tourism include preserving natural and cultural resources, limiting negative impacts on destinations such as overuse of natural resources and waste production, and promoting the wellbeing of local communities. Additionally, addressing issues like the seasonality of demand, reducing the environmental impact of tourism-related transport, and ensuring accessibility for all are critical. Improving the quality of tourism jobs is also a priority, ensuring that the benefits of tourism are distributed fairly while safeguarding the destinations for future generations.
