Learn

Attentive Traveler
Travel with responsibility.
It is not only the responsibility of accommodations to care about the environment. As a traveler, you also have a considerable influence on the consequences of your holidays.
ChargeHolidays brings together initiatives that make sustainable travel practical: education, accessibility, low-waste routines, airplane-free ideas, and simple guidelines for protecting nature.

Sustainable Travel Education
Travelucation
Become a sustainable travel detective.
Travelucation is a program that encourages travelers to adopt sustainable travel habits from an early age. The booklet and simulation package offer practical, hands-on materials suitable for families, schools, and organizations.
These booklets are freely distributed by accommodations, tourist information centers, and town halls, inviting individuals to participate in an enjoyable scavenger hunt. Discover more about how this initiative raises awareness and improves understanding of sustainable travel.
Accessible travel
Wheelmap
Help improve the visibility of accessible places and contribute to social sustainability.
Anyone can find and add public places to the map and rate them according to a simple traffic light system. Wheelmap.org helps people using wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, or heavy luggage plan their days more easily.
There are almost 600,000 cafés, libraries, swimming pools, and many other public places on the map. About 300 new places are added on a daily basis.
Travel airplane-free
Terran e.V.
Use fewer airplanes and rediscover the joy of slow travel.
Terran e.V. provides helpful hints and ideas for enjoying a trip without the huge amount of CO2 produced during an airplane flight.
Instead of blaming flying as a means of transportation, the initiative gives airplane-free travel a positive meaning through trains, cycling, hitchhiking, and experiences along the way.
Collect plastic
Wildplastic
Pack the first trash bag that cleans up the planet.
As a traveler, you are moving around a lot and may spot trash on the way. Our cooperation partner Wildplastic removes wild plastic from the environment and pays fair wages to collectors worldwide.
