The CopenPay program in Copenhagen is revolutionizing the tourism experience by incentivizing visitors to partake in eco-friendly actions. By opting for sustainable modes of transport such as biking and using public transportation, or engaging in litter collection, tourists are rewarded with free or discounted access to attractions like museums and boat tours. This initiative, inspired by a desire to render tourism more sustainable, relies on the honesty of participants to validate their eco-friendly actions. The city has witnessed overwhelming positive feedback from both tourists and locals, highlighting its potential as a model for sustainable tourism worldwide. By encouraging lasting eco-conscious habits, CopenPay is not only enhancing the tourist experience but also fostering a larger movement toward global sustainability.
