Sustainable Tourism
Demand for eco-tourism and sustainable travel is also growing in Germany. According to a 2023 study that was financed by the country’s environmental protection agency (UBA) using funds provided by the Environment Ministry, 61 percent of the population have a positive attitude towards sustainable holiday travel. More and more travel providers are using legally binding environmental and social standards in their branding, supported by the associated certificates and labels. These relate to the sparing use of natural resources such as water, for example, climate-friendly transport, reducing waste and involvement in species protection projects. Organic farms offer holiday rooms with regional and seasonal menus, while eco campsites promote conservation and environmentalism.
Travellers in Germany love spending time in its rich and varied natural environments, such as the 104 natural parks and 16 UNESCO biosphere reserves. Everyone should be able to get around easily in Germany. To this end, many initiatives ensure that people with disabilities can also travel without restrictions in Germany.
