AuthenTrip \u2013 the first platform promoting responsible tourism in Romania \u2013 has been launched. The platform offers travelers the alternative of more responsible tourism through its defining elements: environment and biodiversity, culture and traditions, and a fair economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EuroNews ranks authentic travel and immersion in local communities among the top 6 tourism trends of 2021, alongside nature escapes, itinerant tourism, ecotourism, wellness, and long stays away from home that combine travel with remote work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a recent study published by Booking.com, 53% of over 20,000 respondents want to travel responsibly as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we started AuthenTrip, the main motivation was to promote a different kind of tourism. A meaningful tourism tailored to each individual traveler, with respect for the environment and local cultures, and with ethics and economic fairness regarding the destination. This travel concept was adopted and practiced during 10 years spent in the French tourism market but is still too little known in Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AuthenTrip offers its tourists the alternative of eco-friendly travel. Specifically, by promoting the slow-travel concept, the number and distance of trips required for a journey are limited. Transport is always planned with special attention to ecological impact, encouraging public transport experiences, and flights are for a minimum of 7 days to reduce CO2 emissions. This is highly appreciated by tourists, who can enjoy more time on their dream vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once at the destination, tourists are encouraged to experience eco-friendly activities (outdoor hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, cycling) and to have direct interactions with locals. AuthenTrip supports local initiatives for accommodation, leisure, and the preservation of heritage and cultural identity, making the entire experience profound, filled with authentic interactions and real feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
