What is Sustainability?

Sustainability recognizes the interconnectedness and need for the balance of environmental health, human well-being, social equity, and economic vitality. Slow travel is a way of mindfully traveling with the awareness and hope of creating a better world for future generations of humans, bees, other wildlife, and the entire Earth.

"The care of the Earth is our most ancient and our most worthy, and afterall our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope."
