What is responsible and alternative travel?
Responsible travel is a new way of traveling for those who’ve had enough of mass tourism. It’s about respecting and benefiting local people and the environment – but it’s about far more than that. If you travel for relaxation, fulfillment, discovery, adventure and to learn – rather than simply to tick off ‘places and things’ – then responsible travel is for you. In addition, alternative tourism offers opportunities to those travelers that want more than just travel. It offer alternatives that are more environmentally friendly, more respectful of local cultures and needs, and allow travelers to help local communities through voluntarism.
