Support local communities

---

A way you can help give back to local and rural communities is by shopping and supporting local. This is an important part of being sustainable as it allows small, rural businesses to flourish, it brings money back into the community, and it gives you a chance to get involved with local communities, learning about their enticing history and culture along the way.

You don’t just have to stay in accommodation in these areas to help out. If you’re passing through or stopping off on a day trip, popping into local shops, going out for a meal, or buying local crafts and gifts are great ways you can help support these communities. They thrive off sharing their talent, so your visit means a lot to them!
