It concludes that the behaviour of respondents in Lithuanian regions in terms of sustainability while travelling is still in the process of formation. Most respondents try to consume responsibly when travelling, do not litter or collect their own waste, but only sometimes choose environmentally friendly/certified accommodation and environmentally friendly ways of travelling. Most respondents take recommendations from friends/colleagues/acquaintances, consume responsibly when travelling and care about the environment. The most important experiences for travellers during their trip are related to nature, culture, gastronomy, etc.
