Responsible Tourism Practice |
|
- Sustainable Tourism in an industry committed to making a low impact on the environment and local culture, while helping to generate income and employment for local people.
- Responsible tourism is tourism "that creates better places for people to live in and better places to visit."
- Responsible Tourism is a type of tourism which is practised by tourists who make responsible choices when choosing their holidays. These choices reflect responsible attitudes to the limiting of the extent of the sociological and environmental impacts their holidays may cause.
- heart supports local businesses within communities for example to provide tourists with transport to and from the volunteer projects and their hotels.
- All volunteer opportunities are addressing social and environmental needs and promote sustainability rather than doing once off adhoc "charitable" funding.
- heart's choices of activities have synergy with the impact of tourism for example tree planting to help compensate carbon emissions generated by motor vehicle and air travel.
