October 24th, International Day Against Climate Change
October 24th is a key date for us. Climate change is not a distant threat or someone else's problem. It's here, it's now, and it affects us all. Episodes of extreme drought, more aggressive fires, and relentless heat waves are clear symptoms of an imbalance we have helped create. And it is our responsibility, as a society and as individuals, to do everything possible to reverse this situation.
We don't want to be bystanders. We want to be part of the solution. And one of the most coherent ways to do this is by rethinking how we travel. Tourism shouldn't be a luxury the planet can't afford. If we do it consciously, it can be a powerful tool for sustainability, respect, and social value.
At femturisme.cat, we are clear: sustainable tourism is not a fad, it's a necessity. And we believe it. We are committed to a way of discovering Catalonia that puts people, landscapes, culture, and heritage at the center. We don't want to contribute to overcrowding or the deterioration of the spaces we love so much. We want to enjoy taking care of them and leave them better than we found them.
When it comes to traveling, we have options. We can choose to sleep in accommodations that respect environmental standards, eat local products, travel more efficiently, and discover local projects that work from the land and for the land. We can reduce waste, avoid waste, and practice tourism that nourishes not only us but also the communities that host us.
Because every gesture counts. And because the world we want tomorrow is built by the decisions we make today!
