Responsible Tourism • Using tourism, rather than being used by it • “making better places to live in and better
places to visit.”• It is about identifying locally important
issues and addressing them. • It is about what you do with others

A “movement” • Broad range of individual groups, a spectrum of groups• Moving at different speeds but in one general direction
using a variety of approaches • Global Code of Ethics & Cape Town Declaration • CHANGE: Moving from A => B• All forms of tourism can be more responsible • diverse: particular to cultures, places and organisations
– these differences need to be respected. • Means different things in different destinations and
originating markets; informed - active – consumers & producers

Some principles• All forms of tourism can be more responsible• Tourism is what we make it – producers and
consumers • Tourism is not a commodity – there is no global
market • We are responsible for what tourism is.• All tourism is local – it takes place in other
peoples’ places

Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO) 2000
• … we recognize that in carrying out our work as Tour Operators we have a responsibility to respect other people’s places and ways of life.
• We acknowledge that wherever a Tour Operator does business or sends clients it has a potential to do both good and harm, &
• we are aware that all too often in the past the harm has outweighed the good.
Originating Markets

Certification vs Reporting
• Certification– Opaque– Local significance– Consuming culture
• Reporting – Transparent– What has been
achieved is clear – Informed consumers
Jost Krippendorf: “rebellious tourists and rebellious locals”
The glass is definitely more than half empty
