EcoEscape UK Handbook Launched
A guide to “responsible escapismâ€has been launched for the United Kingdom as part of a new series of ecotourism guides. The book features slow travel, green places to stay, local food and drink and eco days out.
Says ecoescape founder and author, Laura Burgess “ecoescape is defining a new way to travel proving that we can enjoy the environment but leave no hint that we’d ever been there. And we don’t have to go far to do this. We believe that the best places to escape are closer to home than we had ever imagined.â€
The author, Laura Burgess, travelled slowly and has included details of her cycle, bus and rail routes so readers can do the same. “In the UK there are some of the most inspiring people and places that you will find anywhere in the world.
Said Laura, “It just takes some fresh eyes and a new mindset to enjoy them. For this inspirational and practical guide, we’ve found fifty of the best ecoescapes from around the UK. These handpicked experiences are sustainable from start to finishâ€
ecoescape: United Kingdom (208pp £8.99) is the first in a new series of travel guides that celebrate escapism and holidays that are closer to home. May 2008 sees the publication of ecoescape: Ireland and September sees ecoescape: Islands of Britain and ecoescape: Budgets and Backpacks. In 2009, there will be four more ecoescapes, including the first foray overseas to France.
Said Laura Burgess “ecoescape is all about nurturing a new mindset about what travel is and how we travel through time and space in the world. We don’t dictate a set of dos and don’ts. Instead we aim to create inlets to finding a greener holiday based on things we all like to do and experience already.â€
