During the past few years, the term "Ethical Travel" has entered the globe-trotter's lexicon. Ethical travel is simply mindful travel, an awareness of our impact as we explore the world. Travel is now the biggest industry on Earth. Each year millions of travelers pack their bags and head for the usual destinations. While Ethical Traveler sees all travel as a potentially positive force, they encourage people step off the beaten path.In their efforts to woo travelers, many developing countries are making noble attempts to preserve their natural assets, create a user-friendly infrastructure, and build an economy where their citizens share the benefits of tourist revenue. Bringing our commerce to those areas encourages their efforts and inspires neighboring countries to support the same values.
To compile the list, Ethical Traveler conducted a study of the world's 70+ developing nations, from Albania to Zimbabwe. They looked at three general categories: Environmental Protection, Social Welfare, and Human Rights. The most ethical destinations selected by Ethical Travel are: Argentina, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, Estonia, Namibia, Nicaragua and South Africa. (USA Today)
