Slow tourism: that's why it's good for us

From everyday stress to leisure stress – fortunately, the times are over. Slow tourism is the name of the new trend with which we can finally enjoy our vacation instead of just collecting impressions. You can find out how this works and what Costa Rica has to do with it here.

Our everyday life is often stressful: One appointment chases the next, to-do lists are getting longer instead of shorter and we juggle many tasks at the same time. Phew, a lot going on and far too little time for the finer things in life. When we are on holiday at the latest, we want to shake off the stress as quickly as possible and relax. But if you are not careful, you will quickly find yourself stuck in the stress of leisure time on a well-planned holiday: rushing from one attraction to the next, crowded places at the hotspots, unhealthy food in the overcrowded restaurants and the same trips for everyone. But escaping it is not that difficult …

That's why slow tourism is good for us

Peace instead of stress, experiences instead of overpriced souvenirs, enjoyment instead of efficiency – slow tourism is the name of the trend that is becoming more and more popular. The motto "less is more"Less is more, for many people no longer only applies to clothing and gadgets, but also to travel. Slow travel allows us to slow down and focus on the important things: Time for real encounters, special places and also valuable time for ourselves. People are increasingly drawn back to the beauty of nature, where they can completely switch off from everyday life. However, that does not mean that you have to forego comfort. A country in Central America shows how it's done: Costa Rica is not only a piece of natural paradise on earth, but also a pioneer in slow tourism. The little country understands to combine special nature experiences and sustainability with comfort.
