« ETHICAL CHARTER OF TRAVELER AND ECOTOURISM »
« There are no bad tourists, but badly informed travelers ». To help inform these travelers, here is a simplification of the traveler’s ethical charter.
Respect is the guarantee of a better meeting
To travel responsibly respecting the ethical charter, we must first respect and understand the rules and traditions of the place where we are and not judge them.
Live at the pace of where you are
Talk and ask before taking pictures
Avoid provocative outfits
Make all the necessary vaccinations before your departure
Money, goods, food do not have the same value everywhere
The difference in standard of living between travelers and local people can be a source of problems. It is necessary to take the measure of the gift offered or received in local value.
Think before making a donation
Do not give drugs
Make the most of the local economy (hotel, transport, guide, cook …)
Only the footprint of our footsteps
Each tourist has a responsibility towards his place of destination, so it is important for everyone to minimize their footprint on this environment.
Do not leave rubbish behind you
Do not go off the trails, do not drive off-piste
Observe … by far
Do not feed animals, do not touch them
Do not pollute the water (which can be a very rare resource in some places)
Cultural heritage records the history of future generations
Cultural heritage is an invaluable asset for every country in the world. The challenge is not only to preserve it for ourselves but also for future generations.
Do not degrade works of art, sites and monuments
Do not move stones and objects
Do not buy these items as « souvenirs »
