Why sustainable tourism is fashionable

There is more and more interest in travelling in a sustainable way than in a conventional way, given that if we take a look at any media, we can find news about the great problems that our planet is suffering and how they affect our daily lives.

It is for this reason that more and more people decide to travel by van to avoid contributing to the detriment of the planet and even to do their bit for its recovery. With this blog we want to show you in a closer way how you can travel in a sustainable way, zero harmful to our environment.

Trace your route

One of the biggest advantages of travelling by van is the opportunity to plan your trip as far in advance as you need, which will reduce fuel consumption, take advantage of daylight hours and be aware of the activities or points of interest you are going to visit.

Conscious consumption

Another possibility offered by the freedom of travelling by van is to organise your meals and buy them from sustainable outlets (remember to bring your reusable bags).

By buying your products in environmentally friendly places, you will consume natural, fresh products free of artificial preservatives. You will also be able to get first-hand knowledge of the most typical products of each place you visit. With these actions you will avoid having to throw away excess food and ultra-processed or packaged products, which is healthier for you and for the planet.

Go plastic-free

Plastic is not only present in shopping bags and food packaging, but also in household cleaning products and personal hygiene products.

That’s why to free yourself from this harmful material and make your trip much more respectful with the environment we recommend you to learn how to make your own soaps as it is a simple possibility that can become a habit in your daily life and that when cleaning your van, you do it with non-chemical cleaners such as bicarbonate or using ecological cellulose and cotton cloths.

From VanVaz we are aware of the great impact that everyday actions have on our planet and therefore we want your trip to be as conscious and sustainable as possible.
