CODE FOR RESPONSIBLE TOURISM

Tourism with Insight German NGO

We, the responsible host population - Tourism should supplement our economy. It also represents a danger to our culture and environment. - We therefore want to control its development. - We encourage community participation in decision-making. - We will cease development if it leads to an intolerable burden for our population and environment. - We want to avoid the pitfall of economic imperatives. - We limit tourism development targets to what is desirable, not what is feasible. - We want to keep control over our land. We pursue an active planning and land-use policy. We decline to sell land to non-locals. We limit new construction by zoning policies and the use of existing buildings and infrastructure. - We want to protect nature with careful land management, nature reserves for valuable eco-systems and the participation of environmentalists in planning and construction. - We will avoid overdependence on tourism by strengthening agriculture and smallscale trade. - We will try to improve the quality of jobs in tourism. - We want our local culture to remain alive. - We shall use tourism marketing to promote socially and environmentally responsible behaviour. I, the tourist - I look forward to my holidays, but I (and others) will get more out of them if I do not use them thoughtlessly. - It is tempting to do things I would never do at home: I shall avoid this danger. I want to enjoy myself without offending or harming others. - I am a tourist like any other. I accept this and shall not try to stand apart from other tourists. - I want to learn more about the country and it's people. I shall adjust to my hosts instead of demanding the opposite. - I shall try to learn from new experiences. - Leisure for tourists means work for our hosts. I shall not exploit this situation. - I accept some responsibility for the environment in which I travel. I shall be content with what is offered and shall not continually demand more comfort. I shall use environmentally-friendly transport and walk wherever I can. - I will take my time and observe, meet other people, etc. - I choose travel offers which produce the greatest benefit for the host population. Bargaining for lower prices may mean exploitation. - I occasionally choose to stay at home. There is much to be discovered in my neighbourhood. Travel should not become routine.

We, the travel business - We shall promote tourism which is economically productive, socially responsible and environmentally friendly. - We shall encourage interested, considerate and environmentally-conscious travel among our clients. - We shall bear in mind the rights of the local population, and respect local laws and customs. - We shall collaborate with the host population. - We shall continuously train our staff. - Our advertising must be honest and responsible. We shall avoid erotic enticements. - Our guides have a responsibility to promote tourism with insight and understanding to our clients. - We shall not organise trip to ethnic groups who live apart from our western civilisation. - The activities of our business partners must meet the same high environmental and social standards. - In our professional associations, we will formulate principles encompassing the ethics of tourism.
