The Community Tourism Guide: Exciting Holidays for Responsible Travellers
|
Review
Many people believe that "staying away won't stop anyone else from going so you might as well go any way." The Community Tourism Guide claims otherwise, providing a diverse global directory of tours/projects/agents who benefit local communities and don't degrade the environment. They are small organisations, many run by indigenous people themselves. You could ride horses in Mongolia, bird-watch in Namibia, camp with Bedouins, learn a language or volunteer. Instead of fake, out-of-context "cultural shows" or 20-minute coach stops to buy tribal handicrafts, you get to experience "living" culture. The benefit to the traveller is not only a guilt-free conscience, but a richer experience. Sarah Champion

This book was very easy to read and has got me thinking seriously about the impact I have when on holiday. Going Green, No. 38
