Local Customs

Sustainable tourism focuses on respect for an area’s cultures and customs. The concept is not to hide your own culture, but to try to absorb and understand the local way of life. According to the tenets of sustainable tourism, sharing your own culture with the locals and trying to promote tolerance between your culture and the local culture during your visit are encouraged.

What is Ecotourism ?

Ecotourism is the act of visiting a location and leaving very little impact. Conservation of an area’s resources, such as energy and water, and preservation of the land and wildlife are important aspects of ecotourism. While natural ecosystems such as forests, waterways and deserts are often focuses when discussing ecotourism, the concept extends to all of an area’s environment, including cities and area attractions. The resources that were available to the locals when you entered the location should still be available in exactly the same condition they were when you leave.

What Is the Meaning of Sustainable Tourism?

Sustainable tourism is the concept of visiting a place as a tourist and trying to make only a positive impact on the environment, society and economy. A key aspect is respect for the people who call the location home, the culture and customs of the area, and the socio-economic system. While sustainable tourism is sometimes confused with ecotourism, ecotourism is actually only one aspect of sustainable tourism.
