Responsible tourism requires us as travellers to be aware of our actions, so that in addition to fully enjoying the trips we make, we do not leave a negative mark on the places we visit. It is also necessary for public administrations and companies in destinations to adopt practices that minimise the negative impacts of tourism and maximise the positive ones.
Basic rules of conduct for the responsible tourist
Relationship with natural heritage:
- Do not leave traces of your stay (trash, fires, broken plants, etc.)
- Do not leave plastic waste, glass or other products that are not easily recyclable. If you brought it, take it back with you.
- Camp only in areas authorized by the communities
- Do not stain, paint or make any type of graffiti on trees or community infrastructure.
- Do not collect seeds, plants, insects or animals.
Relationship with the community
- Do not exchange or try to sell used clothing to community members.
- Take photographs of people in communities only with their permission.
- Please refrain from using drugs and/or alcohol during your visit.
- Avoid intimate contact with the guide and community members, as this would affect community morals and cultural traditions.
- Do not lend money to guides or other community members.
- Respect local knowledge.
- Respect adults, especially the elderly.
- Please remember that communities have different concepts of time, space and culture than you do. Please be understanding and respectful.
