The article 7 is about equality on ethical tourism. It should regard financial equality, because tourism should be affordable to everybody. It should regard also the State which could help to develope facilities. This article focuses in the end on disabilities of people: they should be encouraged and facilitated.

Tourism, a beneficial activity for host countries and communities

2022-04-30 07:24:11 UTC

1. Local population should do some tourism activities and share equitably in the economy to create direct and indirect jobs.

2. tourism policies should be applied to help the rise of the standars of living of the populations. The planning and architectural approach to and operation of tourism resorts and accommodation should aim to integrate those areas where skills are equal, priority should be given to local manpower.

3.Special attention should be paid to the specific problems of coastal areas and island territories and to vulnerable rural or mountain regions where tourism represent an opportunity for developement of the economic activities.

4.Tourism professionals, particularly investors,should carry out studies of the impact of their development projects on the environment. They should also deliver, with the greatest transparency and objectivity, information on their future programmes.

The dark side of tourism

2022-05-02 16:14:28 UTC

Unfortunately, there is a dark side of tourism, in which both visitors and locals participate, that is the human trafficking industry.

In term of tourism, there are many people who travel for the purpose of making illegal sexual acts.

It is about sex tourism, that is, the sexual exploitation of children by individuals who during a travel have sexual contact with minors. This type of tourism mainly affects the poorest countries such as Latin America and South-East Asia.

2. tourists should have access to all administrative, health and legal services without contacting the consular representatives of their countries

2022-05-13 09:23:01 UTC

3. tourists should have the same rights as nationals of the country visited, their data and information should be stored especially if electronically

A negative example

2022-05-13 09:26:07 UTC

a negative example can be the increase in crime for example: two tourist throwing the trash in a monuments such as Fontana di Trevi

2022-05-13 09:26:50 UTC

4. Administrative procedures at borders should be improved and relations between countries encouraged to facilitate maximum freedom of travel

2022-05-13 09:30:52 UTC

an experience of mine for example it was that to find cigarettes or plastic inside a monument

A tip

2022-05-13 09:31:51 UTC

A tourist, during a travel, should respect firstly the local community rights and also should help and contribute to limit these problems to be a good responsible tourist.

2022-05-13 09:32:44 UTC

2022-05-13 09:32:47 UTC

5. tourists should have the opportunity to change their currency in the visited country if they need it

This article is about to the contribution of tourism between peoples and societies

2022-05-13 09:35:54 UTC

2022-05-13 09:36:07 UTC

for me the respect of the cultural heritage is the respect of the laws to protect the monuments, so do not damage the monuments in any way

petruccigabriela — 2022-05-13 09:36:58 UTC

Tourism professionals must provide tourists with concrete informations about destination, hospitality and stay.
The contractual clauses must be easily understandable.
Clauses must guarantee the financial compensation due in the event of the contract.

2022-05-13 09:39:50 UTC

ART. 2: Summary

2022-05-13 09:42:17 UTC

The tourism is important because it is not only a form of relax and fun, but also is an opportunity for self-education.
The tourisme activites should respect the rights of everyone, especially of the most vulnerable groups.
The exploitation of human beings is a crime and it must be punshed.
Travel for purposes of religion, health, education and cultural or linguistic exchanges are beneficial forms of tourism.
The introduction into curricula of education about the value of tourist exchanges, their economic, social and cultural benefits, and also their risks, should be encouraged.

Underpaid workers in Italy

2022-05-13 17:47:12 UTC

In Italy, especially in the restaurant sector and in bars, there are many workers who are exploited.
Very often they have to work between 10 and 12 hours a day, in addition wages and working conditions are not adequate.
To this is added denied holidays, unpaid overtime and non-existent days of rest.

ensure the existence of good insurance systems

2022-05-17 21:21:05 UTC

5) Governments must inform their nationals in the event of a crisis and also of the dangers they might encounter while traveling abroad

2022-05-17 21:27:52 UTC

6)The press, particularly that specializing in travel, should disseminate honest information on events and situations that could influence the tourist flow.
The informations should be accurate and reliable, and new technologies should be used for this purpose

DAMEGE FROM A RUINED HOLIDAY

2022-05-18 06:14:07 UTC

This term means that the traveler following an unforeseen event doesn't have the possibility to exercise his/her right, that is, to fully enjoy an organized trip .
There are two different types of demage:

Pecuniary demage: for the economy outlay incurred
Existential or moral damage: caused by disappointment and stress ((ex: lost baggage)

The first, which is more easily quantifiable, corresponds to the purchase price of the trip, while the second case a price reduction in expected

TIP

2022-05-18 06:38:22 UTC

An advice that I give to tourism professionals is to do everything possible to meet tourists needs and not to think at a general level.
In addition focus more on flexibility

There must be an understanding of humanity's common values with respect for others whit one of the differences with respect to us

2022-05-18 09:07:39 UTC

For me the tourism is very important, the tourism means discovering new culture, people, traditions and places. It enables people to know themselves and other people in a better way. And we must always respect the rules and the people we meet on our way.
