Cilento to the Amalfi Coast cycling holiday

Planet

Our local leaders actively do not distribute single-use plastic water bottles and encourage water bottles to be refilled from taps throughout the trip. The tap water in Italy is completely safe to drink, and bottles can be refilled at hotels and at various rest stops. In addition to this, our tour leaders also advise of plastic-alternatives such as tote bags for shopping.

Throughout the majority of this trip we, of course, use bicycles to get between points and take in scenic loops. Cycling holidays are a relatively sustainable way to travel as they have less negative impact on the local infrastructure, environment and people while encouraging positive interaction with local people. We cycle on routes that are removed from mass tourism, creating less pollution, noise and traffic. When using motorised transport from Cilento up to the Amalfi Coast, we work with small, locally owned transport companies. In addition to this, taking in parts of the trip on foot and by local boats which run regularly regardless.

As a travel company we are continually looking for ways to improve and are proud to be ‘Responsible in everything we do’. Education is key, and so all staff, Tour Leaders and partnering suppliers are trained in responsible and sustainable tourism. At our Head Office, we continually strive towards a sustainable and planet-friendly working environment, including having solar panels installed and a company commitment to reducing our plastic usage.
