Communicating about waste

Sorting instructions vary from one region to another, it can be difficult to navigate! It is essential to communicate well about waste management to remind tourists that even on vacation, we should maintain good habits: we sort!! >>>

Recycling instructions stickers are available, let us know to collect some.

The natural spring cleaning

Kitchen, bathroom, toilet—every room will now be cleaned with your homemade natural products! A few basic products can be used to make many recipes. Here are a few. Try them now!
>>> Quick, the recipes!

No more stretch film!! Make your own bee wrap!

Bee-wrap, which replaces plastic stretch film, can be used to wrap a sandwich, cover a dish, etc.
A piece of cloth, some beeswax and you're done!

A workshop led by our partner Préval Haut-Doubs for tourism stakeholders in the Destination Pays Horloger, committed to developing eco-responsible tourism!

It's your turn, make your bee wrap by following the Melanie's recipe !

Labeling procedures for sustainable tourism

Labels, brands, standards, certifications… it’s not always easy to find your way around!  Sustainable Tourism Actor et Tourism DNA have therefore joined forces to examine 28 different approaches in detail.

"Whether in the fields of accommodation, catering, travel, leisure or destination management, professionals wishing to define or deepen their positioning in terms of sustainable tourism often turn to labeling approaches.

As pledges of commitment, but also undeniable tools for progress, these approaches are essential for supporting the evolution of activities. However, between awareness, similarities, cost, human investment, and level of commitment, it is sometimes difficult to navigate all these approaches, the sheer number of which can cloud their clarity and hinder their use.

This is why it seemed important to us to help regions and tourism professionals understand and choose these labeling approaches according to the specificities of their activities and their level of maturity in relation to sustainable development issues."
