Tourisms as a leisure activity has existed for thousands of years, However, it has undergone a significant evolution, transforming from a leisure activity enjoyed by a select few to a massive global activity with both positive and negative impacts.The aim of this Erasmus project is to make you aware of these impacts and lead you to transform into a Responsible Traveller. To achieve this, you have the mission to enjoy your stay in Galicia and to make a conscious effort to leave a positive influence in our place and people.

Introduction: what is all this about?

Tourism has existed for thousands of years. However, it was during the 19th century that it began to develop as an organized economic activity. Factors such as the rise of a middle class, advancements in transportation. lower travel costs, accessibility of information about travel destinations have made travel more accessible to a larger population. In fact, the number of international tourists has increased from 25 million in 1950 to 1.5 billion in 2019. Of course, this has brought both positive and negative consequences on our world and our way of lifeEnsuring the positive and facing the challenges requires sustainable solutions that we must all start adopting.
