According to a study by SOfinscope , 45% of French people say that the ecological impact of travel influences their choice of destination.

Furthermore, 21% are considering renting an electric car for their holidays. The choice of transport mode is thus becoming a concrete way to reduce one&#8217;s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>More local and simpler stays<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The search for meaning is also reflected in the destinations chosen. 58% prefer &#8220;green&#8221; holidays, and 39% choose establishments with a sustainable label.
