In the following article, I take up the topic of Responsible Tourism, in which, based on reliable sources, I will try to point out what we should pay attention to and what to avoid while being in Asia, and beyond.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During one of my trips to Koh Phangan, a group of friends and I passed by a place called “elephant sanctuary.” I had always dreamed of touching an elephant, so I immediately stopped to check out the center. After a while, Anton (German friend) pointed out to me the chains hanging from the necks of the giants, while communicating that this place exploits animals for fraudulent donations. In that moment, my eyes were opened to the fact that I need to be more responsible<\/b> and even suspicious<\/b> of the attractions that Thailand, Asia, the world has to offer.<\/b><\/p>\n

“Responsible tourism is about “creating better places to live and better places to visit. “*<\/em> Responsible tourism requires that operators, hoteliers, governments, local residents and BEFORE ALL tourists take responsibility and take action to make tourism more sustainable.”<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
