Be responsible guest
- Respect the local environment. Stay on trails and public footpaths; do not remove plants or feed animals; and never litter.
- Choose reputable, conservation-minded tour operators and suppliers.
- Conserve water. Take showers rather than baths; use a refillable water container, sterilizing water when necessary rather than buying bottled water. Minimize your use of personal care products and detergents to wash linen, and reuse your hotel towels and bed linen.
- Limit energy use. This includes your use of air-conditioning and hot water. Turn off all lights and taps when you leave hotel rooms. - Dispose of sanitary waste properly. Don’t flush cotton buds, condoms, tampons and plastics down the toilet.
- Recycle and reduce. Recycle newspapers, magazines and your beverage containers
(many can be returned for refunds), and reduce the number of bags, napkins and disposable cups you use when you eat fast food.
- Choose environmentally friendly transport. Rather than hiring a car, choose other
ways to get around like taxis, trains or buses. In many places you can also rent bikes. And don't forget your feet!
- Avoid damaging recreational activities. Avoid sports which have a significant harmful
impact on the environment, or choose more progressive establishments (e.g. golf courses which recycle water). Coming home…
- Watch what you buy for a souvenir! Think twice before you buy any products made from any endangered species, including animal hides and body parts, tortoise-shell, ivory, or coral - they could be illegal.
AND FINALLY... Enjoy nature and the environment. There is so much out there that stands out on this planet as amazing, astounding, and downright breathtaking...
