How to get a free water refill and avoid plastic waste while travelling

There are many ways how you can refill your reusable water container and avoid plastic waste while travelling – often for free (read why):

• During your flight: Ask for water to be filled into your bottle rather than wasting new cups.
• On an organized tour: Responsible tour operators usually provide drinking water for you to fill your water container. For example, your transport vehicle may have a water tank.
• When travelling independently: Buy larger water bottles to refill your container for the day. Most hotels will provide boiled water for free – just ask. Best of all, your tap water might be save to drink – make sure to check.
