From knowing what +tourists are looking for to strengthening community. According to The +United Nations World Tourism Organization Sustainable Tourism defines +as “tourism that takes full account of its current and future +economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of +visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities”. These +are some points tourists can consider doing to make their travel +sustainable. + +## Support Local Restaurants + +While travelling in Haiti, spend some time in local restaurants and +food joints. Support these small businesses instead of having +multiple meals at the hotel you are staying in. +Supporting local restaurants means you will be sampling locally +sourced ingredients, which is an additional way of meeting new people +who are enthusiastic about you trying their traditional food. +That is also way to strengthen small communities and allow them to +exist for a long time. + +## Buy Souvenirs from Local Stores + +When you visit Haiti, be sure to support their businesses by buying +some of the souvenirs. In doing so, you will promote authentic +artisans and their locally handcrafted items. You will also inject +money into the local economy, promoting the people’s work and +creating more local jobs + +## Educating People + +While visiting a small community, teach them something that can be +valuable for them in the future. Most of them didn’t go to school. +Youn can teach them new ways to protect their environment, skills +that can be monetize or new ways to improve what they are doing. + +## Share Your Sustainable Travel Experiences + +This is also in line with spreading awareness of sustainable tourism. +Share your experiences with your family, friends and those on social + media. + +## Volunteering to Local Organizations Fighting + +Take your time and give to non-governmental organizations and +community tourism projects that are fighting for sustainable, +responsible travel, animal rights and welfare, environment etc... +Research volunteering opportunities and organizers with whom your +time, money and resources will have positive impact. + +## Don’t use plastics and Walk Where Possible + +Use plastics as little as possible or not at all. Say no to plastic +as a tourism sustainability measure. + +Walking is the most basic and convenient way of touring a new place, +in addition to reducing your carbon footprint. Get help from tour +guides who advise on areas that are safe to walk through and do so. +Additionally, some animals in the wild are rattled by heavy sounds +such as those produced by motor vehicles. Therefore, leave the van at +the entrance and just walk to avoid disturbing these animals. + +## Take Care of Heritage Places + +There are thousands of heritage sites worldwide which attract +millions of visits every year. Unfortunately, an estimated $6 billion +of the world’s cultural heritage is stolen and sold yearly. This, +therefore, calls for more people to take care of heritage sites. +Also, ensure that you don’t litter and take your trash with you, +do not graffiti, and don’t have your name emblazoned on the walls +or caves. And to the millennials, do not take a photo of yourself +sitting on these monuments, especially if a sign prohibits it. +These artifacts and monuments are fragile, maybe because of their + old age and can be sensitive to the touch of hands, bags or shoes. +Take care of these sites so that they are open for more people. +to view in the future + +## Respect the Practices of Local Peoples + +Do not enforce your practices and beliefs on these locals. +When people are praying in churches or vodou temples or other holy +site be discrete. + +## References + + +788_Guide_Strategie_Tourisme_durable_IFDD-2.pdf + +
