The pressure of tourism on nature is increasing. It’s not easy to have the best of both worlds: beauty within everyone’s reach!
It is true that tourism is a very profitable activity, but it is also a very healthy activity.
With people’s lives accelerating in big cities, leisure time is absolutely essential for mental health.
Having a few vacation periods a year is an excellent way to maintain our production needs to contribute to the development of society.
However, being on vacation cannot mean contributing to habitat degradation.
The unbridled consumption of goods, including tourism and access to it, contribute to the fact that the trail we leave for future generations may, eventually, not be the best we leave them as an inheritance.
If we can contribute to the ecological footprint being less harmful to the interests of future generations, that will be a significant contribution that we can make.
There are lots of activities that do not harm nature or are harmful to nature that we can choose from during our holidays.
In fact everything we can do to have fun; to tone up; to occupy our time in harmony with nature and with those around us, it is an excellent option.
Nowadays, tour operators are becoming very sensitive to ecological issues.
Many of them offer solutions adapted to all ages and virtually all preferences. It is easy to include a space dedicated to leisure in your holiday program, without interfering too much with nature.
We have grouped here some proposals to consider. If you are aware of any other proposals that you would like to see included here, we will be receptive to your suggestion.

Walking is an excellent physical activity and a great option for our holidays.
Taking advantage of the time when you are not working to exercise your legs while learning or watching something that fills your soul is very interesting.
Remember to include some walking trails in your vacation and contribute to the reduction of the ecological footprint.
Here are some benefits of walking:
1. Burn calories
Walking can help you burn calories. Burning calories can help you maintain or lose weight.
2. Strengthen the heart
Walking at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week can reduce your risk for coronary heart disease by about 19 percent. And your risk may reduce even more when you increase the duration or distance you walk per day.
3. Can help lower your blood sugar
Taking a short walk after eating may help lower your blood sugar.
4. Eases joint pain
Walking can help protect the joints, including your knees and hips. That’s because it helps lubricate and strengthen the muscles that support the joints.
5. Boosts immune function
Walking may reduce your risk for developing a cold or the flu.
6. Boost your energy
Going for a walk when you’re tired may be a more effective energy boost than grabbing a cup of coffee.
7. Improve your mood
