“Ecobnb is an adventure that we have undertaken to change the way we travel, so that every holiday becomes an authentic travel respectful of the environment and local community. Simone Riccardi had this idea when, looking for a sustainable accommodation for a business stay, and realized that it was not easy to find it on the internet…
\n\n\n\nIn addition, we were aware of the environmental issue of the tourism that is indeed the fourth source of pollution in the world. So, we decide to create a network where you can find easily all those existing green stays. At the end of May 2013 we launched the online beta version of “ViaggiVerdi.it” (that in Italian means “Green Travel”). Now, Ecobnb has more than 2500 accommodation around Europe and all over the world. In a few clicks travelers can book green accommodations: bio hotels, amazing tree houses, bed & breakfast on the beaches, alberghi diffusi in old villages, organic farmhouses, castles and camping”.
