Travel with a Conscience

The Developing World’s Top 10 Ethical Destinations
Author: Car Guru

Ethical travel is a bit of a buzzword these days with websites, blogs, books and numerous other communication forms giving advice on how to travel ethically, as well as specialised companies dedicated to selling ethical holidays. It’s no surprise then that website www.ethicaltraveler.org have created a list of the developing world’s 10 best ethical destinations. They describe ethical travel as “mindful travel: an awareness of our impact as we explore the world”. The list is based on countries with good environmental protection, social welfare and human rights. Ethical Traveller hopes that this list will help travellers choose destinations where their holiday dollars will be used to support human rights and the environment.

Top 10 Best Ethical Destinations

  • Argentina
  • Bolivia
  • Bulgaria
  • Chile
  • Costa Rica
  • Croatia
  • Estonia
  • Namibia
  • Nicaragua
  • South Africa

This list, and a general shift in opinion regarding ethics and travel, reflects the rising number of savvy travellers out there who are aware and concerned about where their holiday money is going. I personally have never really considered ethics when travelling. I certainly don’t plan to travel unethically , but at the same time, haven’t made any conscious decision to spend my money where it might be used to improve the local environment or help local people. It’s just not something I have considered before. Am I the only one? Are we really concerned with ethics when choosing holiday destinations? Is it something you consider when planning a holiday? Are we willing to spend more to be more ethical?
