Why the responsible trip has more than ever

Tourism has the power to transform - but also to harm - in the places we visit. Overcurrent, cultural erosion and environmental degradation are real risks. But the solution is not to stop traveling. It's about traveling better.

The responsible trip means:

  • Choose ecological and community experiences 
  • Support local savings rather than large channels 
  • Respect cultural heritage and the natural environment 

It is about going from consumption to connection. And this change begins with simple conscious choices - choices that the local eye was designed to support.

What experts on sustainable travel say

The advantages of the responsible trip are not just ideas to give themselves a good conscience - they are supported by global data. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (OMT), sustainable tourism can:

“Promote better livelihoods, protect cultural heritage and safeguard natural resources for future generations.”
- OMT, 2022

The report highlights how travelers are increasingly choosing local experiences rather than mass tourism - not only to minimize the environmental impact, but also to create more significant connections with the destinations they visit.

This growing change aligns perfectly with the mission of local Eye : allow travelers to explore consciously and support local communities, with ease.
