“I love to explore the unknown when I travel. I travel to live. I travel with an open mind, and learn about the people and places I visit. When I travel, I have great respect for the cultural & natural heritage of the environments and societies that I visit. I know I have an impact and realise I am always a guest in another country. I want my journeys around the world to be a positive experience for the people that live in the places I visit. On the road I hope to contribute to peace, and understanding.”


 


 












As a traveller do you explore the world in all its facets? Learn about the cultures, people and environments that you visit? Respect and celebrate differences in customs, beliefs, and ways of life? Then you’re a Responsible Traveller!











   













The green Responsible Travel wristband is for travellers like you who balance the desire to experience the world with a respect for the special places and people that you encounter.


Travellers wearing the green wristband express the belief that responsible travel is a force for peace and international understanding.
