Responsible Tourism

Responsible Tourism
Take responsibility for your travel

Responsible tourism is concerned with tourists making environmentally friendly, sustainable, ethical and respectful choices when traveling. It too is focused on minimizing the negative impact of tourism. For communities living in popular tourist destinations, tourism can offer much needed opportunities for social and economic growth. Responsible tourism helps address the possible and actual negative impact on local people and environment from tourism.

Responsible Tourism encourages tourists and travel operators to take responsibility for their own choices and behavior.

Leave No Trace is a non-profit organization that has some great information on responsible outdoor recreation.
