Finding a ‘responsible destination’, an alternative choice for spring

The islands of the Mediterranean represent, now more than ever, a highly sought-after destination for both overseas and European tourists.

The uncertainty that has brought the pandemic condition back to the world seems to have currently found reassurance for the traveler in ‘Covid_19 free’ travel proposals.

The better management of small island territories such as those of Greece and Spain has generated a boom in requests for consumers who do not want to give up a holiday this year.

The major and minor islands of Italy also fall within foreign tourist expectations. However, the movement towards these territories must be guaranteed and encouraged by the summer.

According to recent 2021 statistics, we remind you that Italy, for example, is the third most sought-after destination by Americans with 32% of requests, preceded by the UK, with 38%.

In first position we find the US territories themselves, including the highly favored ‘Sun&Beach’ destinations such as Hawaii and Florida.

Added to these are the ‘Green’ destinations of the large US parks, Alaska and entertainment destinations such as Las Vegas, first and foremost.

Faced with these choices, still in a difficult economic and health period, it would also be useful for tourists to become more ‘responsible’, and therefore consider and reflect more on their travel preferences.

‘Responsible tourism’ represents, together with ‘sustainable’ tourism, the strength of the sector which does not set it back to the conditions of the ‘pre-pandemic past’, but already projects it to a future condition of rapid economic recovery.

Why only think about classic ‘Long-distance’ or ‘Sun&Beach’ destinations? Certainly the Maldives or the Seychelles are destinations that are unlikely to fade away.

Therefore evaluate other possibilities, places closer to us, but also of extraordinary beauty, to support the local economy or the nations most in difficulty.
