RESPONSIBLE TRAVELER PLAN YOUR TRIP Investigate, when you are planning your trip, the characteristics of the destination which you want to visit and take the necessary measures to keep up to date all the documentation, travel insurance or medical checks that you may need. Also, follow at all times the recommendations of local authorities, especially in case of emergencies. Check the origin of the products you consume to avoid any risk, particularly infectious or derived from allergic reactions or intolerances. CONSUME LOCAL PRODUCTS Support local entrepreneurship through the consumption of products or services produced in the destination and whose direct and indirect benefits are distributed transversally and favor the most vulnerable groups. Likewise, when you purchase a good or service, buy only what you truly need and do it at a fair price; keep in mind that what for you may be small quantities, can destabilize local economies or make a difference in having a more dignified life. LEARN ABOUT YOUR HOST COMMUNITY Learn, whenever possible, about the cultural aspects of the destination your visit (customs, gastronomy, languages or dialects, traditions, heritage…). Be sure to know their social norms to avoid behaviors that may be offensive or humilia- ting for your host community. Also, be an exam- ple of tolerance by creating opportunities for mutual learning with locals and other travelers, avoiding conflicts or unwanted situations. PROTECT THE ECOSYSTEMS Enjoy only products, services and experiences that guarantee the sustainable exploitation of the aquatic and terrestrial resources of the destination and that respect the natural habitat of native or foreign fauna and flora, avoiding animal abuse or the destruction of...

EVENT TIPS Now a days Virtual & Hybrid events are working well, but we all know that keeping the attention of the participants is not an easy task, and sometimes attendees fall into the temptation of WhatsApp messages, answering emails and more distractions that we all have experience during this events. When participants start to connect, it seems that everything is ready, but how to start and avoid distractions? What should we do to avoid the “automatic pilot of work in front of the screen” to an active assistant to pay attention, involvement and engagement? The moderator or presenter of the event plays an important role and in your toolbox you cannot miss a good collection of energizers to break the ice. Here some inspirational ideas and tips to make it success. Before we start, we have to be clear what is the goal of the event and what we want to achieve. A good start can be to invite participants to introduce themselves (sometimes this will not be possible due to the amount of attendees though), awaken the group with energy sessions, prepare some activities to work as teams, brainstorming sessions, basically encourage participation if possible. This will be easier if the participant´s know each other obviously. Avoid activities and topics that might cause controversy and consider the different nationalities-languages of the group. Maximum 15 minutes of ice breaking It is not about burning the assistants and leaving them without energy for the session, between about 5 to 15 minutes is enough to activate them and start.
