After the completion of the surveys in 9 cities and before visiting Brussels for the same
study, it is time to make an early analysis of the findings.
Question 6
When choosing your holiday destination, are you considerate of environmental issues and, for that reason, do you choose eco-friendly destinations (e.g. destinations with eco-labels or with minimized impact of tourism on the local environment)?
- Yes, environmental considerations already have and will have an impact on my holiday destination choice
- Yes, I will consider environmental issues in the future, but I did not consider them yet
- No, environmental considerations do not and will not impact my holiday destination choice
- No answer
- I have no knowledge of this topic
- I never go on holiday
- I am not aware of the level of environmental protection at my holiday destinations
Environmental considerations seems to be the topic with the largest differences across the cities. People in the European North (the Netherlands, Belgium) either do not care about the eco-labels and the environmental impact in the destinations they visit on holidays (low in answer 1) or they are not aware of this topic (high in answer 4). It is optimistic that there is a handful of respondents saying they will consider it in the future.
On the other hand, the European South (Iberia, the Balkans) seems to be more considerate about the environmental issues with answer 1 being highly chosen. It is also noticeable that Portuguese respondents highly choose answer 6 (never go on holidays).
