Many tourism businesses assume that using words like 'eco-friendly,' 'sustainable,' or 'eco-lodge' on their website is harmless marketing language, completely missing how rapidly the regulatory environment is shifting around them. In this episode, Samantha Smits explains why vague green claims on your homepage or in your brochures have quietly become a major legal and commercial risk under the EU’s new Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition directive. Even if your business is based outside of Europe. Learn how to replace vague buzzwords with concrete evidence, protect your contracts with European agents, and build a simple, factual approach to your communication that safeguards your business partnerships.
