Responsible Tourism Week #rtweek2011 Responsible Tourism in Cities

Responsible tourism is treating others the way they wish to be treated. It's common sense and good manners. A growing number of travelers want their journeys to be less invasive and more beneficial to the local community. They want to better understand the culture of the people they meet in the places they visit. Visitors should be mindful that we are entering a place that is someone else's home. Sounds complicated? Try this -- imagine what irresponsible tourism looks like and then imagine its opposite.

As the movements toward local travel and responsible travel deepen, indigenous peoples have much to offer a growing number of travelers who wish to respect people and place. Putting such noble ideas into practice is the task at hand! Toward that end we are updating our guide to the Guelaguetza

guelaguetza = tortilla de milpa zapoteca
