A final reminder about the rules of ethical tourism

Over the past few days, we've been quoting from a "Code of Ethics for Tourists" which was widely circulated several years ago, quoting the first 8 of the principles suggested in it. Here are three final reminders.
9) When you are shopping, remember that that 'bargain' you obtained was possible only because of the low wages paid to the maker. 10) Do not make promises to people in your host country unless you can carry them through. And 11) Spend time reflecting on your daily experience in an attempt to deepen your understanding. It has been said that 'what enriches you may rob and violate others.'
