Be a good manner traveler!

Environmental protection, cultural preservation and tourism intimacy

You know, when we go to a place of travel, you may inadvertently destroy the local ecological environment and human culture.

An analogy, one day, a picturesque, feelings plain founded in the small villages by a traveler. The traveler was very excited, go back and continue to give a friend recommended a pass 10, 10 pass 100, hence the introduction of a large number of passengers. Merchants saw the "scraping golden" opportunity to begin to open dozens of stories in the local large hotels, luxurious restaurants to open. Dozens of large buses in and out each day. Passenger thinks because of their access, will not only create money; also to stimulate the local economy, local people can live a relatively comfortable life and so on. What a great reason for the great stately. We all know that tourists brought in money, but into the pockets of businesses, the local people's life can there be any improvement?! Is not difficult to imagine, the local air, water, how it will be contaminated, simple feelings will begin to smell of copper. Until one day, this place was paradise on earth will be ruined too miserable. Travelers tired of work, they find another human paradise. And this will be gradually forgotten and abandoned there to fend for them.

Ah, perhaps I spoke a bit exaggerated, or too pessimistic. In addition, travelers entering the first of several, is their sincere hope that other people can also have the opportunity to see the beauty, it turns out is not perceived to indirectly destroy it. It is most unfortunate is that unscrupulous businessmen, and later obsessed with the present enjoyment of visitors without considering the consequences.

I have to go to Nepal in the decade, are already slightly feel the impact of visitors on the ground. Fortunately, there is little negative impact, especially in the Himalayas. Because, where there are no big hotels, are some of the mountains the locals taken a small house, there are a few rooms inside the small room to the travelers. It is primitive. I love it. However, I recently heard that and started a relatively large-scale hotel you want to set up in the mountains. I have always been concerned about this problem, but the nightmare is almost always inevitable....

Ecotourism

Long time ago, travel explorer is what "the first one on the Himalayas," and what "the first one into the Antarctic" and "the first to the Amazon people." The previous explorers / travelers scrambling to do that the "first person", but now we may be rushing to do that the "last one" - "to see the glaciers of the last one" and "tropical rain forest to see the last one , "" The last person to see the snow leopard, "... ..

Over the past decade, in Western countries have begun to strongly advocate eco-tourism, there are many different terms, such as ecotourism, responsible tourism, sustainable tourism and so on. A word, is a tourist, we also take environmental protection, respect for local culture and the protection of cultural and other factors into account. How to not pollute, does not undermine the case, can enjoy a trip is an unforgettable journey. It is also to be in order to ensure that our future generations have the opportunity to see we are blessed to enjoy the beauty and diverse culture.

Having said that, I often saw such kind of service in the West like green tourism, eco-tourism such as hotels, and sometimes repulsive. Many businesses are notoriously sloppy with these popular terms, of course, is only posing as a. I am not very clear now in Asia, whether to proceed with such a popular form of tourism. In short, we need to do smart consumers, do not blindly believe, ask clearly first- hostels in the end is how to make efforts to protect the environment, and how to protect local people's culture.
