The city hopes to offset the 'environmental burden' of tourism with rewards for eco-friendly travellers.
Tourists will be rewarded with free food and activities if they participate in environmentally friendly tasks while visiting Copenhagen, the city's tourist board has announced.
The project is "trust-based", meaning attractions are unlikely to ask for proof that the green activity has been completed. "In some attractions you might have to show a picture of you riding a bike, or of your public transportation ticket," she says. Last year, Denmark recorded over 12 million overnight stays across the country, according to government statistics.
Othy Jasper, a 25-year-old Londoner who will be travelling to Copenhagen for work in August, said he is "conscious" of his airmiles when he travels. "It can really rack up - you have to think is it essential, is it worthwhile? Of everything one can do, catching flights is possibly the worst for pollution."
