Here are small steps for one traveller, to help make a better footprint for our favourite destinations and, well, to just be a little bit better
| |
We know how that sounds John, but hear us out...
2020 wasn’t the year we thought it would be; but was it the realisation we needed? Clear and pristine waters drift through Venice and monkeys return to the streets of Kuta, but we have seen communities that thrived on tourism suffer.
So how do we balance these when travel resumes? Here are small steps for one traveller, to help make a lighter footprint for our favourite destinations and, well, to just be a little bit... better. | | Five Responsible Travel Tips |
| | 💧 Conserve water | | Much of the world suffers from a shortage of clean water so we can help by reusing hotel towels, taking short showers and turning off the tap! |
| | ♻️ Reduce your waste | | Ditch the plastic bag, refuse unnecessary packaging, dispose of your waste responsibly and pick up rubbish too! Recycle as much as possible. |
| | 🙌 Go local | | Enjoy locally owned and operated restaurants and bars. Shop in the local markets and stores and utilise the expertise of local guides when booking tours or activities. |
| | 🐘 Care about the wildlife | | Take a "look but don't touch" approach to wildlife activities and avoid any attractions that involve "performance", riding or closely engaging with wild animals. |
| | 🤝 Respect the local people and culture | | Along with obeying local laws, this relates to dressing and behaving in a manner appropriate to the community. |
