responsible tourism
Conscientious travel practices
Responsible tourism is travel that minimizes negative environmental and social impacts while benefiting local communities.
The term encompasses practices like supporting local businesses, respecting cultural traditions, and reducing waste.
It overlaps with sustainable tourism and ecotourism but emphasizes the traveler's personal accountability: We try to practice responsible tourism by staying in locally owned hotels.
