Trend: bed & breakfast in an ecological farm<\/p><\/div>\n

An increasing group of tourists would like to recreate in a sustainable way. A majority of the travellers considers the environmental policy of tour operators and holiday suppliers while booking and 85 percent prefers to stay in a small-scale accommodation.<\/p>\n

This appears from a research held amongst 520 high educated Dutch travellers by travel organisation TravelEssence. Although this was a Dutch research, we believe that the signalized trend is an international one.<\/p>\n

New type of traveller
\n<\/strong>“The familiarity with sustainable tourism is no longer just meant for the traditional backpack\/eco-tourists but influences all target groups. With the growth of the number of baby boomers who slowly reach their retirement and search for a more personal and customized way of travelling, a new type of traveller is coming about”, says TravelEssence.<\/p>\n

“These new environmentally aware pensioners – often with a good income – like to combine ecologically responsible activities with good food and pleasant, cosy, small-scale accommodations. For the new traveller a good contact with the host and an accommodation that is part of the complete travel experience are the very things that are important.” <\/strong><\/p>\n

B&B, a sustainable form of recreation
\n<\/strong>At Bedandbreakfast.eu<\/a>, we recognize this trend all too well. It is with reason that bed & breakfast – the ultimate small-scale accommodation- has become so successful over the last couple of years. In a B&B you are still in contact with the host and your personal wishes are taken into account. Guests really appreciate this. In addition, bed & breakfast is a sustainable form of stay tourism. For example, nothing has to be built to create an experience: the B&B itself is<\/em> the experience!<\/p>\n

B&B with an environment-friendly label
\n<\/strong>More and more bed & breakfast work very sustainably. There are various accommodations with an environment-friendly label such as the Ecolabel or Green Key. Other B&B’s are built completely energy neutral. Do you give preference to an extra environmentally aware B&B address, than search on Bedandbreakfast.eu<\/a> for key words like ‘Ecolabel’ or \u2018Sustainable’. Or filter your list of found B&B’s: find the search filter \u2018Type\u2019 and check the category ‘Ecological farm’.
