India is known to be a big player in the world of tourism and it is known to attract millions and millions of tourists every year from across the globe. There are so many diverse places to visit and one can expect to experience more than their expectations. However, this is also true that the country is still a developing nation and has a long way to go before it can be termed as a developed country.
When tourists, especially the foreign tourists visit the country, they are likely to come across some of the most evident signs of poverty, this might develop the urge in tourists to help them too, but the truth is, it is not always that straightforward as it seems to be. One another factor that is affecting tourism is the impact of tourism in the country. Tourists tend to travel to the most popular places rather than exploring the less known places.
Do you consider yourself a responsible traveler? Are you looking to help the country by traveling in the most responsible way? Here are some helpful tips to travel responsibly across the country.
- Not everyone is poor
Although you can find a lot of poverty in the country, not everyone here is poor, they do not need your money.
2. Don’t distribute sweets, pens, etc to the kids
Refrain from distributing sweets and pens to the kids. This otherwise contributes in developing a natural habit among them to beg from tourists.
3. Protect the natural beauty
As tourists, you can avoid single-use plastics and use your own recyclable water bottles. Avoid using up too much water as well.
4. Explore new places
Explore new places too so as to avoid overcrowding the most traveled destinations.
Besides poverty and the growing over the number of tourists, the country has an amazing capacity of accommodating tourists and helps them explore the best.
