Preserving cultural identity
In recent years, the term sustainability has acquired a greater interest in various fields, especially the younger generations, who have expressed concern about caring for the environment and the impact of economic activities on society. Globally, there is a growing understanding of the increasingly notorious effects of environmental and social damage.
Today we will learn about some of the benefits of implementing sustainable practices in tourist destinations; we will understand what sustainable decisions we can make as visitors to a destination and why it is important to preserve the identity of the community that will welcome us.
Traveling slow
This year we have been forced to stop our accelerated pace of life, but there are many people who, for years, have decided to see life from a different, internal, and authentic perspective. This is how the slow movement was born; it invites us to look inside ourselves through sustainable actions in various sectors including slow food (with kilometer 0, the consumption of local products), slow schooling (with the inclusion of history and local characters in educational programs), slow parenting (as parents reduce their working hours to dedicate more time to their children and transmit their values to them).
Focus on Happiness
When was the last time you asked why the results you are getting were not the ones you were expecting? Maybe there was something you missed or did you not see the whole picture? I believe this often happens when we focus on measuring only facts and not the impact those facts have on our team or on us, the people who are trying to achieve a collective goal.
