We all have a duty to minimise the impact of our travel both on the local area we are visiting and the world in general.

Responsibile travel as all about enjoiying your holiday whilst minimising the environmental damage that is done through travel and tourism.

Here are some tips which will help you reduce the environmental impact of your villa holiday

• Plan your travel to minimise the carbon emissions - use public transport where possible and try and minimise flights.
• Generally the shorter the flying time the less fuel is used and the lower the carbon emited
• Choose a venue which minimises the travel to and from where you want to go. If you are looking for a beach holiday then choose a holiday villa near the beach.

  

  Air travel makes a growing contribution to climate change, currently accounting for 6.3 per cent of UK total CO2 emissions, and can have serious impacts on local air quality.

  Forecasts suggest that emissions from flying could make up between 10 and 16 per cent of the UK’s contribution to climate change by 2020, if no action is taken to lessen the environmental impacts. Consider the need for a flight and the alternatives to taking the plane.
