Summary of the project “Good Travelers”
The majority of young people and travelers lack awareness about the current situation and
management of natural resources, development and changes of landscape caused by tourism
activities. There are impacts of residual waste, water waste, exotic souvenirs and overall fragility of
sensitive areas.
The project “Good Travelers” aims to inform young people about the above issues and provide them a
chance to learn from each other and improve local and global practices in order to avoid the negative
impacts of mass tourism consuption and cover the need for alternative information about different
ways of travelling and environmental friendly behaviours.
The project will be implemented in the island of Zante due to the fact that a lot of the beaches of this
specific island are used as nests from the sea turtle Caretta-Caretta, which is one of the endangered
species. The bad habits of the mass tourism and the lack of environmental awareness on this sensible
area are causing a lot of problems as far as the fauna and flora of the island are concerned.
Aims & Objectives

Discover new cultures, habits, lifestyles and healthy behaviours towards sensible areas
