    What is responsible tourism?
     Responsible tourism strives to reduce the negative social, economic and environmental
    impacts tourism has on the local communities we visit.
     Increased tourism has allowed extra the opportunity for damage to the environment,
    however making choices and acting in a manner that supports the longevity of these
    communities is what responsible tourism is about.
     Respecting the environment and improving, not damaging, the quality of life of the
    local community is paramount to being a responsible tourist.
     There are a lot of misconceptions around responsible tourism – you don't have to be a
    super eco-warrior to be a responsible tourist; you just have to be a positive force, as
    opposed to a negative one.
    Why is responsible tourism important?
     Sustainable tourism that benefits the local people whilst preserving the local nature and culture is
    essential. However, cases of ‘overtourism’ have damaged many beloved destinations.
     ‘Overtourism’ is when a landmark/destination receives excessive visitor numbers that are
    detrimental to the local community, wildlife, or tourist experience.
     There are obvious benefits of tourism, but tourism of this extent has strong negative effects.
    ‘Overtourism’ can cause damage to infrastructure; unrest with the locals due to the inconvenience
    of masses of tourists; and can also affect the experience for the tourists themselves (visiting a site
    surrounded by crowds of people detracts from its natural beauty).
     In a lot of cases, responsible tourism is a matter of respect for the local traditions, cultures and the
    environment. It’s important to be ‘culturally sensitive’ in order to preserve the well-being of the
    local communities, boost their economy and fully immerse yourself in your travels.
    How to be a responsible tourist?
     Here are just a few simple tips for you to consider to help make your trips more
    sustainable:
     Stay several nights
     Support the local economy
     Explore non-popular areas
     Become a temporary local, not a tourist
     Don’t purchase endangered species produce
     Avoid taking ‘natural souvenirs’
     Last but not least, one which we should all be doing anyway… don’t litter!
    Final thoughts…
     There seems to be a shift towards more socially conscious travellers. When people
    are looking for new adventures, they are seeking out opportunities to immerse
    themselves in the culture, people and nature of a location.
    This is furthered with millennials are being considered a more conscious traveller
    than others, considering the environment much more.
