What you choose to do on holiday can have a positive impact on the islands!
As a conscious traveller<\/strong>, you don\u2019t aim to leave the beach, trail, mountain or picnic area as you found it\u2014but better<\/strong>. As a committed visitor, you can do your part to ensure your adventure helps to preserve the natural, historical and cultural heritage of the islands, while enjoying a unique experience in the Canaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover how to get involved and practise sustainable, responsible tourism<\/a> with our short guide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Part of the Virtuous Circle: Businesses with Local Commitment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The way you choose to travel echoes within the community<\/strong>. That\u2019s why choosing experiences offered by local companies aligned with sustainability<\/strong> brings great benefits to the Canarian environment and economy: they reduce environmental impact and promote the conservation of local heritage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, because their guides, producers and suppliers are from the area, the experience is both authentic and beneficial to the islands’ economy and employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always Stick to the Path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that simply walking on marked trails helps protect the habitat of Canarian wildlife<\/strong>? These trails are designed to reduce the impact on flora and fauna and to avoid damage to valuable ecosystems and archaeological areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also remember that on some trails in Tenerife<\/a> and Gran Canaria<\/a>, a reservation is required to gain access. If you\u2019re bringing your pet, make sure to keep an eye on them so they don\u2019t disturb the local fauna or flora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Public Transport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The landscapes of Masca in Tenerife<\/a> or the hamlet of Fataga in Gran Canaria<\/a> may have inspired you to take home your own memory of some of the gems of rural Canary Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do, the best way to show empathy towards the locals is to use public transport<\/strong>\u2014this helps avoid traffic congestion and parking issues. Both the planet, thanks to your reduced carbon footprint, and the locals, will thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support Canarian Artisans and Producers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Daring to try Canarian products\u2014including some of the best cheeses<\/a> and wines<\/a> in the world\u2014will open up a world of authentic flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buying local products and crafts helps preserve jobs, culture, traditional trades and island heritage, as well as native species and breeds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let Your Only Footprint Be the Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nature is a treasure shared by all\u2014and the home of several rural communities. Always place your rubbish in the appropriate bins, and of course, don\u2019t take any natural items<\/strong> with you, as it is prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to discover the Canary Islands in an authentic and sustainable way\u2014while connecting with fellow travellers, the environment and local culture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
