The Danish government will continue to implement the CopenPay project, which aims to combat environmental damage caused by tourism. The plan includes rewards for those who make environmentally friendly choices during their stay in the Danish capital.
Those responsible for the project acknowledge that overtourism across Europe is a burden on the environment. Recall that last week in Barcelona, Spain, some residents demonstrated by hitting tourists with water pistols.
Small steps, such as the introduction of reusable cups in some establishments, can mean offering, for example, coffee. Other gifts within the campaign can range from a cocktail on the roof.
In the future, tourists who arrive in the city by train rather than by plane may also be rewarded.
Those responsible for the project cited a British newspaper The keeper that the goal is to make tourism a more sustainable activity, so that it ceases to be a burden on the environment and becomes a lever for positive change.
According to the same source, the authorities are considering these measures, which will be in effect until August 11, as a pilot project, which, if successful, could be extended to other cities.
