Vacations are one of the best ways to unwind after doing a lot of activities and it is undeniable that natural attractions are the best choice. So, therefore, we as tourists must uphold ethics and manners when traveling, especially if we go to natural attractions such as mountains, beaches, rivers, forests and so on. Therefore, as a young generation, let's apply the following travel etiquette!
Disposing of garbage in its place is the most basic thing and has been taught since childhood, although there are still very many who do not obey this rule. And if the tourist place you visit does not have a trash can, you can temporarily store the garbage in a bag or clothes bag and it is better if you separate the types of waste that are thrown away. This is very simple but has a huge impact on the environment and the preservation of nature where you are on vacation.
2. Respect and respect other living beings
This is very important when you are on vacation to natural attractions. Because, it's not only you who are there, but there are also many wild animals and plants that live in the tourist environment. Never destroy the habitat of other living things when you travel and do not disturb the animals and damage the plants in the tourist attractions. Appreciate and love them so that the holidays are more meaningful.
3. Reduce plastic waste
Back again to the waste problem, as an ethical traveler and upholding environmental cleanliness you must reduce the use of plastic. The easiest example is to stop or reduce the use of plastic straws and plastic bags, it sounds quite easy but this is quite difficult to do because it has become a habit but if there is a strong intention to protect the environment, you can definitely do it!
4. Be friendly, polite, and respectful of local residents
When you are on vacation, try to always be polite and friendly with the locals. The local residents here are not only humans, but also with animals and plants scattered around where you are on vacation. And most likely if you apply this trait while on vacation, the locals will also definitely do the same thing as you do.
5. Not only that, respect the local culture too
Respecting local culture is a form of appreciation that you can give to residents and where you are on vacation, even though the culture in your area is much different from the culture where you are on vacation. Well, here try so you don't disturb and mock their culture because you might get in trouble.
You must comply with the written and unwritten rules of the place where you are traveling. Obeying the regulations that apply in the area where you are traveling is an act that should be appreciated, because you have respected and respected the environment and local people where you are vacationing.
7. Be wise in using the service
When you are on vacation, it is better if you are wise in using the available services, for example, if you stay at an inn, you should save water and electricity. Don't think because you have paid so you can freely use the existing facilities, it's a good idea to think about the negative impact on the environment that could be caused by the facilities you use.
Those are seven travel etiquette that you can apply while on vacation, it might be difficult to live it if it's not normal, but if you have a strong intention, you can definitely apply it.
In tourist spots or in the open, whether climbing mountains or walking on the beach, including public amusement rides and roads when it is recommended not to do some things that according to good ethics are categorized as a form of deviation. This may be something small and simple, which when many people do it becomes a good habit. Start small and start with us.
