Why You Should Consider Slow Travel

7. It Promotes Sustainable Tourism
It would be great if every city benefited from tourism equally, but that’s not always the case. Most of the time, big international companies are the ones making a profit while local businesses suffer. For instance, people who only travel to all-inclusive resorts tend to spend their time – and money – inside the complex instead of exploring the rest of town.
Slow travel, on the other hand, is all about getting to know the local companies and working with them. It’s important to support their businesses or they might not be there the next time you visit the country. So always make an effort to buy their authentic crafts and textiles, and try to eat at local restaurants.
