Port Saplaya is an idyllic destination to spend your holidays at any time of the year. This special charm requires a commitment from locals and visitors to preserve both the ecosystem and the uniqueness of its streets.
For this reason, at Apartamentos Sea You Port Saplaya we want to talk about how to support sustainable tourism in Port Saplaya .
Sustainable tourism seeks to minimize environmental and social impact , to enhance the well-being of the local community and preserve natural resources. Apart from tourism companies, this responsibility falls largely on people, that is, on travelers. Below, we are going to talk about some ways to reduce the impact when we travel .
To start, we recommend making responsible use of resources such as electricity or water. Even though we do not have to pay for these services specifically during our stay, we should not waste water by leaving taps open or electricity by leaving the lights on when we are not in the accommodation. This also applies to resources such as amenities or the daily change of towels.
The next step would be to reduce waste : try not to use single-use plastic containers during your trip (and in your daily life) and, if you have to, recycle them correctly.
Transport is also an essential aspect. We know that getting to your destination may require you to use polluting means of transport such as by plane. However, once you are at your destination, move around in a sustainable way . Port Saplaya and Valencia in general are very well prepared for getting around by bicycle, on foot or by public transport, both due to their size and layout.
Sustainable tourism often involves much more than just environmental issues. It also involves caring for the local culture, society and economy . For this reason, we recommend that you buy from small businesses to support local businesses and artisans. This, in addition to being the best way to have an impact on society, allows you to get closer to the culture of the destination.
The same applies to the customs and norms of the destination. Both cultural aspects and the norms and habits of the locals must be respected so that the coexistence between tourism and local life is sustainable .
Finally, you can dedicate part of your vacation days to participating in beach cleaning projects, environmental awareness workshops or other volunteer activities .
At Apartamentos Port Saplaya we are committed to sustainable tourism and we encourage all our guests to take care of Port Saplaya with us. In future posts we will share what actions we are taking to contribute to caring for the environment and the surroundings.
