Basically, a green tourist is a traveler with an eye toward protecting the environment and culture of an area. As stated by Kenyon (2021), As the number of tourists traveling the world rises, green tourism is becoming not only desirable but also necessary in some places. Referring to figure 14.4, I am a light green tourist because I will think about green issues when traveling such as trying to reduce the usage of plastic. I would bring along my reusable bottle to reduce the usage of plastic water bottles. The attached image is the mind map of my 5 best practices to be a more green traveler.

Postmodern Tourists are travelers who visit unusual or unpopular places for a variety of reasons, including self-interest and ironic isolation. The postmodern tourists will seek out new experiences such as seeking out environmentally-friendly tourist experiences and increasingly looking for authentic and realistic tourist experiences.
