The opportunity to discover new places and destinations, people and cultures, but above all, to enjoy unique moments. However, being a tourist also brings with it a series of responsibilities.<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">When visiting another city or country, it is important to be culturally aware and, just like every good tourist, treat the place you have chosen to enjoy new experiences and adventures with respect.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">UN recommendations for sustainable tourism highlight the importance of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inclusive and sustainable economic growth.<\/li>\n<li>Social inclusion, employment and the reduction of poverty.<\/li>\n<li>The efficient use of resources, environmental protection and measures to combat climate change.<\/li>\n<li>Cultural values, diversity and heritage. Mutual understanding, peace and safety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This post gives you a few ideas on how to be a good tourist:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Support the local culture. Use local products and services that will aid development\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you use products or services that sourced directly in your destination, you will be giving a boost for local businesses and encouraging local entrepreneurship, as well as ensuring that the profits stay right there. Above all, it is important to acquire only those items you really need and to pay a fair price for them. This will help to stabilise the local economy as well as workers\u2019 living conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-53467\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.thbhotels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/mercat-olivar.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"932\" height=\"409\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Local Market in Palma: Mercat de L&#8217;Olivar,\u00a0photo by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.inpalma.com\/es\/conoce-palma\/10-lugares-contemporaneos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inpalma.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Take care. There are risks; make sure you are aware of them.<\/strong><br \/>\nEven before you start packing, the first thing you should do is check out the characteristics of your destination: make sure you have all the documents you need, as well as travel insurance and any necessary medical checks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do some research, share and learn about the communities you are visiting.<\/strong><br \/>\nEach destination offers you the chance to discover unique customs, gastronomy and languages. Being a good tourist means knowing about the country or region you are visiting. Take the time to find out about their traditions and social customs to avoid doing anything that may seem offensive or humiliating to the locals.<br \/>\nChecking out the historic sites you are interested in visiting, or reading up about any events going on in town can turn your trip into the experience of a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53468\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.thbhotels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/carnaval-lanzarote.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.thbhotels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/carnaval-lanzarote.jpg 900w, https:\/\/blog.thbhotels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/carnaval-lanzarote-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.thbhotels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/carnaval-lanzarote-768x553.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>Teguise Carnivals,\u00a0photo by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/vacacionesenlanzarote.es\/turismo\/fiestas-de-lanzarote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vacacionesenlanzarote.es<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Do your bit to protect water and land ecosystems<\/strong><br \/>\nEcosystems are becoming increasingly damaged and polluted, and human action is partly to blame.

Whenever you get the chance, you should also get involved in clean-ups and environmental care programmes in the destinations you visit.
