Sustainable tourism

In 2023, I became a Travelife partner, which means we're committed to sustainable travel in terms of accommodation selection, excursions, and our local office, as well as educating travelers about sustainable practices.

This year, I'm part of the European Trace project, which promotes more circular business models.

In 2025, I will be Travelife certified.
