What makes an eco-friendly holiday truly green? More than just hopping on the bandwagon says Ian Peet, the director of camping and cycling and a co-founder of Go Camping UK. According to Peet, environmentally-conscious traveling goes beyond booking a vacation at a hotel with a green label.
"A genuinely green holiday is something that is achieved not by trying to be green, but by utilizing the environment and its natural attraction. Our camping and cycling holidays are a quiet and efficient way to tour an area unobtrusively. Customers appreciate what the natural environment has to offer, so rather than change the local environment we use it as a showcase for the flora, fauna and sounds of the countryside.
What better way to pass the summer days than by cycling through peaceful countryside, watching and listening to the wildlife that flourishes in the local nature reserves. People enjoy the quiet life of the Suffolk countryside, sampling the excellent local produce, the quaint pubs and the quirky individual shops found away from the bigger towns; not to mention that most people like the idea of sitting outside a tent, passing time and watching the sun go down. It’s very informal and relaxed.”
Go Camping UK has been providing green travel vacation since long before the trend began. Travelers will find camping trips and cycle tours along the Suffolk Coastal Route that are ideal for families, couples, groups or singles. Customers also have the opportunity to decide the duration of their trip, with weekend, mid-week and seven-day bike tours available, as well as weekend camping breaks or single site camping trips for those that want a less structured option. For individuals or families that don't wish to carry all of their belongings on their biking trip, the company also offers pre-pitched eurotents complete with the comforts of home including a refrigerator, barbecue, electricity, camping beds and a dining area containing cookware and dishes.
