Being a Responsible Tourist -- Part I

The following are suggestions on what we can do to minimize tourism's damage to the environment:

• Take only biodegradable items.
• Carry out any rubbish on your treks.
• Walk, cycle or use local transport.
• Do not purchase animal product souvenirs.
• Use locally produced foods.
• If possible consider staying with local families to reduce the need for expensive hotels.
• Drink and eat local food. This will save money in importing costs and reduce amount of packaging.
