Here, therefore, 5 brief rules for being a real green tourist.
Walk on foot
Choosing sustainable tourism means preferring long walks rather than taking means of transport. An excellent way to admire and appreciate Massa Lubrense is right through the network of paths. With an overall development of about 110 km, there are really a lot of paths proposed that boast unmissable and unforgettable panoramas over the two gulfs of Napoli and Salerno.

Buying local handicraft products helps to keep alive the traditions that pass on the secrets of the trade from generation to generation. Typical craftmanship products that can be found in Massa Lubrense are handmade’s works realized by wood and pottery, which represent a source of wealth for the country.
Respect the environment
Don’t pollute, try to reduce consumption, and respect the local flora and fauna are just some valuable pieces of advice to follow for being a real sustainable tourist.
The need to promote sustainable tourism is a key theme for Massa Lubrense. Since 2008 it boasts continuously the blue flag award, given by the FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education), an international foundation that promotes and sustains the territories that stand out for good environmental practices.
Respect the protected areas
Respect the fishing ban imposed in protected areas for not damaging the sea bed, don’t throw waste into the sea, and avoid boat engine exhausts which represent a significant source of air pollution it’s definitely a good starting point for sustainable tourism.
The marine protected area Punta Campanella for years is committed to the protection of Massa Lubrense’s territory. In 2014 an ecological buoy field was created in the Le Mortelle area; this allows boats of mooring in total safety without using anchors, ensuring so the sea bed preservation. In addition, the institution of the fishing ban has enriched this stretch of sea with sea by gilt-head breams, white seabreams, and saddled seabreams as well.
Reduce the consumption
Trying to reduce waste and consumption in order to avoid damage to the environment is rule number one for a very good sustainable practice. For instance: turning off the lights, making sure the water is securely closed and properly separating waste can be good practices to follow not only during vacancy, but also in daily life.
The sustainability criteria didn’t surely escaped the gastronomic field. It’s the case of “Don Alfonso 1980”, a starred restaurant that gained the green star after launching the “Zero waste” policy. It’s a policy that aims to the sustainable waste management and promotes the recycling and organic production of raw materials.
