Contes Asia Travel supports not to use a single plastic for travel. We aim to educate poeple on the importance of using reusable water bottles of bamboo or steel instead of buying and using plastic bottles. It is better for the traveler, the community they visit and for the environment.
CLEAN WATER Drinking tap water in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka might make you sick. It is often contaminated by microscopic critters that can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps or worse. So most travelers now buy packaged bottled water, which has huge environmental impact as well as being expensive and possibly unhealthy due to micro-plastic in bottles.
At Contes Asia We request you to clean your own water and use your own reusable water bottle of Lifestraw. We also identify hotels and operators those support no single use of plastic.
Why we should do that?
To avoid creating a trail of plastic water bottles everywhere you go
To save money and time
