What code of conduct should a responsible tourist advocate?

Being sensitive to the culture and environment of tourist destinations is the basic requirement of responsible tourism behavior. The strangeness and temporality of tourists' stay in tourist destinations will often make tourists relax their behavior constraints, and in addition, they will ignore the influence of their own behavior on local social culture and environment. For example, plastic bags and bottles carried in tourism activities are all very landscape-destroying garbage, and cannot be discarded at will just because no one sees them at the scenic spots or thinks that sanitation personnel are cleaning them up. Some economically and socially underdeveloped areas are still unable to deal with the garbage left by tourists. Therefore, self-discipline is a high expression of tourists' sense of moral responsibility, and they consciously support the environmental protection of tourist destination parks, protected areas and reserves.

(2) Respect

Respect is the attitude that socially responsible tourists should hold when interacting with residents of tourist destinations. As representatives of tourist destinations, we should respect the material and social environment of the destination. Tourists should have the basic knowledge of the destination, learn the local culture without judgment, and do not impose their own value system on other cultures. For example, get to know the local culture before traveling, or even learn a few local dialects to facilitate communication. Take the initiative to greet local residents, follow and experience local culture, habits, language and lifestyle, and participate in cultural activities of local people; Experience local life in depth instead of shooting a moment. Before shooting a local portrait, you should ask the consent of the subject. If the other person doesn't want to, move the camera to avoid causing anxiety. Because, not all people like strangers to press the shutter on themselves. Don't make a fuss about local religions and traditional ceremonies, but understand. Therefore, respect means that tourists should not be snoopers when traveling, but should take the initiative to contact people in the tourist destination, and the degree of contact should be appropriate to make the local people feel comfortable.

(3) savings

Tourists with a sense of environmental responsibility should try to reduce the excessive use of local environmental resources, try to use reusable or recyclable items, and improve the utilization rate of items and resources. For the convenience of traveling, tourists often use disposable goods, which is not conducive to environmental protection. Responsible tourists should try not to use disposable goods, use reusable items, such as shopping plastic bags, slippers, toiletries, drink less bottled water and bring their own cups or kettles.

(4) Contribution

Have the responsibility to contribute to the economy of the tourist destination.
