Travel like a local

There's good news for the responsible, eco-friendly traveller. www.responsibletravel.com is set up by a bunch of people who not only care about the destination but also helps you blend in and be one with the locals

We often hear people rue the fact that tourism spoils the culture and serenity of a country. The truth is that none of us can avoid being tourists. www.responsibletourism.com comes as a refreshing option since it gives the traveller the option of visiting a destination, but minus the tourist avatar.



What's unique with these trips is that a native of the place will take you around, be your guide and make you feel like a local rather than an outsider in a foreign land. And while you are at it, the area and its people will benefit from it. The trips organised through this website are eco-friendly and cause the least harm to the tourist destinations.

We found the website informative with a myriad of options for travel lovers. You can choose from different types of holidays including adventure, cycling, beach, bird watching, budget travel, history tours and Gorilla safaris. The website also offers different types of tourist destinations including campsites, honeymoon options, boutique hotels and caravan parks. Choose any destination according to your taste and preference and you're sure to find a juicy tidbit or suggestions on it.

The website gives out plenty of information on how to travel in an eco-friendly way. They have an entire section on responsible travelling, which gives tips to reduce carbon emission and travel in a way that doen not violate the environment.

On the flip side, the website is UK-based and doesn't carry an Indian contact. So, the only way of contacting these guys is by mailing mail across an enquiry.u00a0 Even if you do not wish to approach them as your online tour guide, you're bound to stumble upon hundreds of exciting, insightful ideas for holiday destinations with a difference. Once a responsible tourist, always a responsible tourist.
