Our pace of life is usually very fast. It is hard for us to slow down and we are always going up and down, without pause or rest. Even sometimes, when the vacations come, we are still very accelerated: so much time waiting for them, that when they arrive we want to make the most of every second.

For this reason, many people opt for slow tourism, an increasingly common alternative for those who seek to enjoy an unhurried, calm vacation, connected with nature and everything that surrounds them.

What is slow tourism?

Slow tourism or slow travel represents a way of traveling that prioritizes the quality of time over the quantity of activities. Surely, when traveling, you have made a list of ‘things to see and do’ and, when you have finished it, you have thought: “phew, I don’t know if we will have time for everything”. Right? That usually happens in traditional tourism, which seeks to fulfill a long list of visits in a short time.

Slow tourism, on the other hand, promotes calm enjoyment, contact with the environment and nature, tasting the local gastronomy and enjoying it bite by bite, disconnecting from the daily routine, rediscovering oneself…

In short, it promotes respect for oneself and the environment, enjoying every detail, every experience. The slow culture focuses on living in the moment and immersing oneself in the destination in a conscious and sustainable way.

What is slow tourism based on?

This type of tourism is based on…

• Disconnection: Leave aside the stress of our day to day and forget about the obligations that surround us in our routine, to disconnect and relax our mind and body.
• Connection with our environment: To achieve all of the above, it is necessary to connect with nature, let yourself go, enjoy every moment that the different natural environments offer us… Everything, of course, without haste and with respect.
• Local experiences: In traditional tourism, there is a tendency to go in a hurry, trying everything without really enjoying it. In this other type of tourism, it is essential to know well the gastronomy, culture and traditions of the place. Understanding, living, tasting… The experience is complete, slow.
• Respect and sustainability: The slow culture promotes responsible tourism that respects the environment, the people, the place… This type of travel should be beneficial for everyone.

Where does slow tourism come from?

The slow movement was born in Italy during the 1980s as a response to concerns about the loss of identity and local traditions. It emerged as an alternative to the “fast food” model that was becoming popular, as it sought to preserve the value of gastronomy and the pleasure of enjoying it unhurriedly.

Over the years, this culture has spread to many other areas, including tourism. Today, slow tourism is booming, offering an alternative to fast-paced, consumerist tourism.
