REUSE AND RECYCLE<br />
Do you have maps you will no longer need?<br />
Return them, or leave them at the hotel so<br />
other tourists can reuse them. If you go<br />
shopping, take a cloth bag with you.<br />
RESPECT THE CULTURE<br />
Part of sustainable tourism is aiming for the least<br />
amount of impact on the communities and cities you<br />
visit. Every destination has its customs and<br />
traditions. Respect and consider these when<br />
planning your trip.<br />
FOLLOW THE RULES<br />
The rules are established to protect the<br />
patrimony. Stay on the paths, avoid using a<br />
camera with flash when asked to, and keep<br />
quiet when walking through nature in<br />
order to avoid startling the animals.<br />
CONSUME LOCAL<br />
PRODUCTS<br />
Buy handicrafts made by communities rather<br />
than imported goods, and take the time to<br />
visit a local market to check out regional<br />
produce. Act sustainably and eat healthily.<br />
RESEARCH THE COMPANIES<br />
YOU TRAVEL WITH<br />
Contract tours run by legal agencies that work to protect<br />
national heritage and that treat their employees and<br />
clients well. Take their certifications and any actions of<br />
social responsibility into account.
