Puglia, Italy
The Valle d'Itria is a protected landscape, known for its unique natural beauty and cultural heritage (trulli, olive groves, dry-stone walls). Local initiatives promote responsible tourism.
Italy has recycling programs. Many accommodations and public areas present separate bins for different types of waste. Familiarize yourself with the local system. Always dispose of waste properly; littering degrades the environment.
Puglia is a dry region, especially in summer. Water resources are valuable. Be mindful of water usage: take shorter showers, turn off taps, and reuse towels. A reusable water bottle can decrease plastic use.
The UNESCO designation for Alberobello works to preserve the Trulli as unique architectural heritage.
