What is responsible tourism?

Responsible tourism is about making a positive contribution whilst travelling.

You can do this by:

  • Considering the needs and interests of the local people and contributing to their income.
  • Supporting community-based tourism initiatives.
  • Respecting the differences between your culture and that of the local people
  • Appreciating the lack of resources and being careful with the use of water and electricity.
  • Supporting projects that work on the conservation of natural resources and refusing those that don't work on a responsible tourism market.
