Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
Leo Tolstoy
Now as i have already mentioned in my last post, I believe in taking baby steps towards being a responsible traveller rather than just thinking and talking about the giant ones (like abandoning air travel – I know it is not possible!!)
So, here I am listing down the most important things that matters in responsible travelling! I will keep it short and simple. Below are few things that I believe are the back-bone of travelling responsibly
Do not abuse the:
- local resources
- local culture
- animals
Supports:
- the community
- local businesses
Respect:
- the environment
- local traditions and culture
- local needs
- local working conditions
- the local language
- local heritage
- the cleanliness and hygiene of a place
If you can take care of just a few of the above mentioned points, trust me you will never ever have to go through the guilt of not travelling responsibly!
