Can anywhere be a Slow Travel destination?

Overall, anywhere can become a Slow Travel Destination with the right mindset and vision. Plus, despite a common myth, Slow Travel isn’t only about exploring remote corners.
The most popular tourist spots have renowned fame for a reason, and you shouldn’t especially skit them as they probably have an interesting story beyond the most-desired Insta shot.

Overall, sustainability is enhanced within Slow Travel Destinations, mainly due to the habits and mindset shift occurring when we become a Slow Traveller (source: here). Consequently, as many places adapt to tourist desires and expectations, sustainability will grow in these visited places.

First, you can slowly travel on a budget. Nothing is impossible. Still, some parts of the world are more affordable to do so. For me, the best slow travel destination for any savvy backpacker will be Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, and Central/South America (except Costa Rica, which is freaking expensive).
Within these places, you can be sure to have the best travel experiences and immerse yourself in local life and culture without breaking the bank.
