To Adventure Travelers:
The following
Sustainable Travel Standards summary is designed to help travel
providers make responsible choices when planning their programs
and engaging in their offerings:
Sustainable Travel Standards
Research Alternatives, learn about the places you intend to
offer programming, and ensure that you support tourism that is
not harmful to the environment or well being of local people.
Educate your Clients and provide them with opportunities to make
meaningful connections with local people. Encourage them to walk
or use public transport whenever feasible.
Be Culturally
Sensitive. Respect the values, customs and beliefs of the local
people you visit. Foster a greater understanding of their
culture and their environmental issues.
Generate Economic
Benefits. Buy locally produced goods, become a patron of locally
owned businesses, and enhance the well being of host
communities.
Be Environmentally Friendly. Conserve natural
resources when traveling just as you do at home and in your
offices. Offset your carbon emissions from airline and land
travel.
Make Positive Contributions to the conservation and
preservation of natural and cultural heritage and to the
maintenance of the world's biodiversity.
Travelers' Philanthropy
Introduction to Travelers' Philanthropy
There are a growing number of conscientious consumers and responsible travel companies who are donating financial resources, time, talent and economic patronage to protect and positively impact the cultures and environments they visit. This voluntary movement is becoming known as Travelers' Philanthropy or Altruistic Travel.
