负责任的服务与乡村社区联系在一起，给人留下深刻的印象。旅游使人精神振奋，摒弃偏见。旅游正在不断发展，环保意识也在不断发展。接下来就是以可持续方式振兴乡村地区。越来越多的旅游场所只使用当地的手工艺人，赞扬当地的技能和产品，并重振他们周围的土地。在这里，游客不仅仅是客人，他们直接接触到整个文化，并帮助加强社区内的联系。在本书中，可持续旅游专家克拉拉·勒·弗特（Clara le Fort）介绍了改建的修道院、改造的风车以及世界上许多其他迷人的地方，它们拥抱慢生活，为所在地区注入了新的生命。本书向我们展示了旅行如何可持续发展，适用于每一个希望自己不仅仅是一个地方消费者，还是一个地方保护者的人。

英文简介：

Responsible hospitality connects to rural communities and creates lasting impressions. Travel ennobles the spirit and puts away with prejudices. Travel is evolving, ever more aware of reducing its environmental impact. The next step is a kind of experience that revives rural areas in a sustainable way. A growing number of hospitality venues use only local craftspeople, celebrate local skills and produce, and reinvigorate the land around them. Visitors here are more than guests, they are in direct contact with a whole culture and help strengthen the bonds within the community. In Slow Escapes, sustainable tourism expert Clara le Fort introduces converted monasteries, transformed windmills, and many other enchanting places around the world, that embrace slow living and breathe new life into a region. This book shows us how travel can be a saving grace for the long term. It is for everybody who wishes to be more than a mere consumer of place.
