-
Open up to cultures and traditions other than your own: your experience will be transformed, you will earn the respect of the local people, and they will embrace you more easily. Be tolerant and respect diversity; Observe the traditions and social and cultural practices of the place.
-
Respect human rights. Any form of exploitation violates the fundamental objectives of tourism. Child sexual exploitation is a punishable offense, both in the place where it is carried out and in the country of residence of the person committing it.
-
Help conserve the natural environment. Protect wildlife and their habitat, and don't buy products made from endangered plants or animals. Avoid taking pictures with the fauna, it can cause these species to leave the place and not return, with the detriment that it will be more difficult for your next group of tourists to observe these species.
-
Respect cultural resources. Tourist activities must be practiced with respect for the artistic, archaeological and cultural heritage.
-
Don't be tempted to take away pieces of archaeological remains, plants, flowers, and so on. If every tourist who visited the place took a sample, the resource would soon cease to exist.
-
SYour trip can contribute to economic and social development. Buy local crafts and products to support the local economy, and adhere to fair trade principles. When bargaining, keep the concept of fair wages in mind. Handicrafts are the most important reflection of local culture and identity and their benefits go directly to the populations of the towns visited. In addition, they are produced with very low impact on the environment and contribute to increasing the appreciation of the local culture.
-
Inform yourself of the current legislation so as not to commit any act that is considered criminal in the visited country. Do not traffic in drugs, weapons, antiques, protected species, or dangerous products or substances or prohibited by national regulations.
-
You must maintain order and cleanliness in the places you visit, thus avoiding potentiating the different risks that threaten the facilities, protected natural area and others.
-
Avoid making unnecessary noise in museums, in views of archaeological monuments and especially in protected natural areas. Noise can disrupt the experience of other tourists or scare off wildlife in natural areas.
-
Do not throw food scraps in the places visited. Take special care in protected natural areas; fruit remains can contain seeds that can grow on site and later become an invasive species, harming native species.
-
Keep in mind to turn off the taps, turn off the air conditioning and lights when you leave the hotel or place of lodging. Thus, you help not to waste water and energy, precious resources for the entire planet.
-
Try to minimize the generation of garbage, reject products with unnecessary packaging and choose to use recyclable packaging.
