Be a responsible tourist and help save the world. Well, that might sound a bit grand, but The Independent Association of Tour Operators ('AITO') helps remind people travelling abroad of some of their responsibilities.
Firstly, consider offsetting your carbon dioxide emissions by investing in projects that are specifically aimed at lowering the effect of this warming gas. Flying is the greatest culprit here and it emits tonnes of carbon dioxide into the sky every hour of the day. Your travel operator should have a list of schemes, such as reforestation and light bulb projects, which will help balance the effect of your flying. The Reduce My Footprint programme, supported by the AITO, can help you co-ordinate your efforts.
Learn a bit of the language and be polite. Do not see your holiday destination as a place devoid of other peoples and their way of life. Have a quick look at their traditions and customs, and make sure you don't offend anyone. Showing the soles of your shoes in religious temples in Thailand is regarded as a great sin, so don't embarrass yourself, or your hosts.
Before you even get there, be responsible with your packing. Don't take out items that your hosts will find hard to dispose of, or recycle. And do you need all that stuff you have packed? Can you reduce the weight and so reduce the fuel needed to transport your luggage to its destination?
When you're there, and start buying souvenirs, or any kind of shopping for that matter, try to buy things that will benefit the local economy, that are not made from pieces of endangered wildlife and that are being legitimately offered. And while bartering, try not to see it as a game, and end up making too good a bargain. They might not be able to afford it.
While swimming, walking, climbing, or driving, try not to damage the local wildlife. Indiscriminately picking flowers, taking shells off a beach, or taking the 4×4 into a wood to see how it performs at full throttle, is not being a responsible tourist. And don't goad the wildlife ' not only might they bite you, but it unsettles the natural rhythm of things. Dropping litter is out in any country, so don't let your crisp packets fly out of the car window.
When taking your holiday snaps, bear in mind that everyone else might not want to be pictured with Little Johnny eating his favourite ice cream. As in all things, think how your actions might seem to others and try not to cause offence.
Think about how you are going to react to beggars. For some it might be the difference between life and death, for others it might be a lucrative career. It is usually recommended that you do not give to beggars, whether that be money, gifts, or sweets for the kids. If you want to help, think about an appropriate charity when you get home.
And finally, think about the water supply and the risk of pollution. Some countries are desperately short of water and running the tap regardless of how much you might need, can seem a little unthinking. And consider about what you're throwing down the sink and into water courses. Pollution can effect whole communities.
Be a responsible tourist and do your bit for a better world.
