As a traveler, you will have an impact on the environment and culture of the place you are visiting. Learn about your destination before you get there. Read guide-books, travel articles, histories or novels by local authors and pay particular attention to customs such as greetings, appropriate dress, eating behaviors, etc. Being sensitive to these customs will increase local acceptance of you as a tourist and prize your trip.
Follow established guidelines. Take care of the guidelines for limiting tourism's impact on the environment and local culture. Staying on trails, packing up your trash, and remaining set distances away from wildlife are a few ways to minimize your impact in sensitive areas.
Seek out and support locally owned businesses. Support local businesses during your eco-travels to ensure maximum community and conservation benefit from your spending.
