Q9: Responsible travel means being cognizant and respectful of other cultures while abroad. Always have an open mind and a willingness to learn, and you'll have a truly authentic experience wherever you go.

A9 And believe me, there are plenty of people in Alabama who don't agree with what went down this week. #TWchats https://t.co/xt38k3nZu0

A9: The question implies there is a phenomenon of "irresponsible travel", so lets deal with that, as that seems more real than the amorphous concept of "traveling responsibly", which so begs some insincere "mea culpa", which I am so not doing. #TWchats

A9: @twtravelnews Responsible travel means leaving communities better than they were when we arrived. On our Cruise With Purpose Tours guests can pay-it-forward & assist in scientific research, bring much-needed supplies to an orphanage, replant a native forest & more! #TWChats


A9: I try to learn cultural practices & basic phrases beforehand, & of course treat people & environments w/respect. Also, seek out experiences that leave $ in the hands of local residents. #TWchats

A9 Responsible travel can mean about 40 different things. To me, it's being respectful of local customs and traditions, keeping an open mind when people have opinions different than yours, and always trying to approach a new place with a deeply felt, genuine curiosity. #TWchats

A9: @twtravelnews We practice responsible travel by teaching sustainability! With our "Whalesafe Project", our youngest guests cruising through the Pelagos Sanctuary learn about how Costa Cruises helps protect the species in the protected area. #TWchats https://t.co/tlyLbsVVG4

A9: We love to travel and we love our earth more 🌍💙 When we travel, we try to be respectful to our surroundings including the people, nature, and places we interact with. Consume and waste less, see and enjoy more #TWChats

A9: Downloading our new #myAmaCruise app helps you be a responsible traveler in two ways: 1. By informing you a bit more about the places you visit and 2. By saving valuable paper resources by reading that information through your device and sending digital postcards! #TWchats


replying to @AFARmedia A9: We dug into this quite a bit in our most recent (May/June 2019) issue. Check it out. #TWchats https://t.co/l9C5EUZ7nV

A9: Responsible travel includes respecting local customs. Ie: in some East Asian countries, sticking chopsticks upright in your rice bowl is reserved for honoring the dead. Instead, place them down next to your bowl or on a chopstick holder if you have one #TWchats


A9: Responsible travel is best achieved through cultural education. Our partnership with @UNESCO makes it possible for our guests to practice mindfulness as they discover #WorldHeritage sites, and the rich culture and history of their locales: https://t.co/CyULQU7fZ6 #TWchats

A9. Learn about the culture before departure, be sensitive to destinations combatting overtourism, visit destinations with tourism management plans and leave no trace. Seriously, don't even THINK about carving your name into anything. #TWchats

A9 Don't be an asshole and don't leave a mess behind. Pretty simple really. #TWchats https://t.co/Veak2s1UM6

replying to @AFARmedia @AFARmedia A9: Be respectful of the local culture and treat their land like your own by doing your part to reduce waste and save resources as you would at home #TWchats

replying to @AFARmedia @AFARmedia #A9: Unlike what I see from tourists in LA, I don't go to other places and toss garbage wherever. Lack of public trashcans made me hyper-aware of what I generate & I carry it all with me. Reusable bags, containers, utensils at all times, too. #TWchats

A9: Agree! And don’t take sand, plants or stack rocks along beaches or rivers! @TravelLeisure #TWChats #PristineEarth https://t.co/WZmWV6dUGJ

A9: Responsible travel means traveling light, avoiding peak travel dates, taking detours to local inns, finding the scenic routes, and using local transportation as much as possible. It’s important to give back to the community by using their own infrastructure/services. #TWchats

A9: Tzell agents all agreed that having your itinerary printed AND downloaded on your phone is a must, have an understanding of the currency + let your banks know that you're traveling internationally! Have more questions? #twchats Contact us here:
