"Go explore ..."


So many travellers are forced to think about the ramifications of the most simplest of trips in a modern society that regularly uses such buzzwords as "sustainability" or "eco" as a method of questioning weather or not this trip is necessary in the first place...

So what to do? Fortunately a new report from Ethical Traveler helps to smooth the way by showing the 10 best developing places to go that are best protecting their natural environments, promoting responsible travel, and building a tourism industry which provides real benefits to local communities. ...

They say "Are you the kind of traveler who wants to have a great time AND feel good about where your travel budget is going?..."

"In drafting our report, we use scores of information sources - including publicly available data - to rate each country's genuine commitment to environmental protection, social welfare, and human rights," said Christy Hoover, co-author of the report. "Data sources include the United Nations Development Program, Human Rights Watch, Columbia University, Reporters Without Borders, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and many others. Private interviews with NGO leaders are part of the process, as well."

So, to help you sleep at night instead of worrying too much, visit http://www.eturbonews.com/13108/new-report-helps-travelers-plan-ethical-vacations for more information.
