Responsible Travel

Category:	Eco Tourism
Title:	Responsible Travel
Listing URL:	http://www.responsible-travel.org/
Description:	Tourism is now the world’s fastest growing industry. With this proliferation of travel comes a heavy responsibility on all travellers to ensure that the heritage and environment of those nations we seek to explore does not disintegrate under the rapid influx of new visitors. Tourism accounts for over six percent of the world’s gross national product, providing up to ten percent of the world’s total employment. Yet the vast majority of tourists come from only 20 predominantly western countries. No longer the preserve of the elite, since the 1960's tourism as an international industry hasn't looked back thanks to the package holiday and dropping flight prices. Today few areas are beyond the reach of the average western citizen.
