- Travel rarely and for longer perioid at a time. Enjoy your valuable holiday.
- Fly less. If you have to fly, spend more time in the place you have chosen.
- Prefer travelling within your home country, especially when you have less vacation; travelling by train and by bus is less consuming.
- Travel, when it's out of season. It's reasonable to divide influence of tourism throughout the year.
- Prefer using environmentally friendly hotels/hostels and restaurants (organic, slow food, vegetable food).

- Don't buy souveniers made of endangered parts of animals and plants.
- Don't touch coral, stand on coral reef or collect them.
- Don't feed fish, throw waste food or garbage into the sea.
- If you travel to the alps, try to ski in the areas using natural snow, instead of using artificial snow.
- It's a good idea to visit the same destination many times. In that way you can get to know it deeper, and the destination is not
something for once used.
- When you travel next time by ship, check that it doesn't throw waste water into sea (www.wwf.fi).
- The more stars classification a hotel has, the bigger egolocical footprint it has. Prefer visiting hotels with ** stars.
