With ecotourism and ethical travel on the rise, and more awareness in general about responsible travel, traveling can sometimes seem like a landmine, with too many possibilities of doing something wrong. How do you know what to do? How can you find out more? What if you make a mistake? If you have to pay such attention, it’s like extra homework—that isn’t fun!Is it even worth going? 答案是肯定的 - 结合道德旅行和愉悦是可行的 - 绝对值得做。不仅是为了社会和行星的好处，而且还因为这是一种真实的旅行和实践方式ethnorelativism和全球意识—something international educators not only promote, but spend their lives doing. Here at Transitions Abroad, Jeff Greenwald has included a definition of ethical travel in his article Ethical Travel: Voting with Our Wings:
“道德旅行是一个最新的概念，也是一个要求更高的概念。individual和collective理想。A traveler can experience environmental beauty and cultural immersion while actually贡献to the well-being of the host country。”
是否正在学习训练大象的实践（从野外捕获，折磨成为工作动物，虐待并给予可怕的生活条件），并选择不与大象旅游互动，为商品和服务支付公平的代价，学习尊重文化，在当地吃饭或支持当地供应商，ethical travel is the epitome of ethnorelativism and global awareness…and it is definitely pleasurable. When you combine the two—ethical travel and pleasure—you end up having a better time than you ever thought you would. Why? Because you end up interacting more with locals, making an impact on their lives and environment, and truly创建区别。 任何旅行您可以在道德上完成！爱食物？时尚？动物？冲浪？志愿服务？远足？音乐？购物？海滩？ All of these travel passions of ours can be enhanced by traveling ethically—by paying attention to the people, culture, and land wherever you are in the world. 我可以整天了解这一点，但是我决定询问专家 - 所有致力于道德旅行的旅行作家，以及旅行中的文章，照片和喜悦都展示了道德和愉悦的一致性。 * * * Hal Brindley, ofTravelForWildlife, notes:
Holding high ethical standards and having fun on your travels are definitely not mutually exclusive. In fact we find quite the opposite to be true. Once you open your mind to the impacts of your travels, you realize that you're not having fun when you know that something you're doing has a negative effect, and that you have so much more fun when your activities and choices are having a positive effect!
每个人都喜欢接近野生动植物，他们从经历中获得了个人的刺激，但是显然有一种正确的方法和错误的方法。我们问自己一些简单的问题，例如“动物是通过自己的选择来做到这一点的？还是被人类强迫？这项活动如何帮助保护该物种？我是为自己的娱乐而这样做或帮助这种动物？“
当我在一个看起来很漂亮但显然浪费了自然栖息地的巨大度假胜地时，我从不喜欢自己。但是，当我发现自己身处一个与环境和野生动植物一起使用的小型，精心管理的生态湖泊时，我总是度过美好的时光。同样，当我的活动实际上使当地的野生动植物受益时，它们会更加有趣和令人满意。例如，我刚刚加入了哥斯达黎加的海龟的“保护假期”，而我必须以有意义的方式参加红树林的造林，海豚研究和海龟保护，这一事实使这次旅行变得很有趣，就像我一样有趣刚刚以游客的身份漫步在那些地区。有多少人说他们在旅行中被海龟拍打在脸上？但这正是我在我们参与Golfo Dulce的科学现场研究时，我们正在交出一只成年的绿色乌龟来进行她的测量和信息时，这就是我发生的事情。我爱它的每一秒！

Traveling to Thailand and spending a week volunteering at Elephant Nature Park was one of the most memorable (and life-changing) experiences of my life. The park, along with the foundation which runs it—Save Elephant—is a glowing example of responsible tourism. Here, it is about learning about the elephants who call ENP home and their rescues from the tourism industry, street begging and more, and how to appreciate them from a distance versus riding them or watching them perform. I now work for Save Elephant Foundation and can easily say that in the two years I have been here, I have learned so much about elephant tourism and spoken with so many people who tell me they would much rather visit places like ENP where the elephants get to roam free and no bull hooks are used, than sit on a bench on their back or watch them paint or kick soccer balls. I have seen, first hand, the results of unethical elephant tourism, and it breaks my heart. Fortunately, more and more outfits are beginning to take a cue from ENP and move towards responsible elephant tourism versus exploitive.

选择成为“道德”通常被别人误解为“无聊”。也就是说，最重要的是对扬声器的反映。您所做的只是选择考虑自己的个人满意度以外的其他考虑因素。
早在1997年至1998年，我带领了9个月的地中海自行车绕过训练，从摩洛哥到直布罗陀，漫长的道路。在“更大的和平与合作理解的利益”的指导下，Bikeabout-地中海是在博客引起的几天前的开创性的“教育互联网冒险”。回想起来，尽管我们在途中做出了一些愚蠢的选择，并经历了一些艰难的时期，以捍卫我们的道德基础，但这次旅行仍然是我一生中最富有，最难忘，最愉快的旅行经历之一。乘骑自行车旅行到地中海，我们使用（有时是非常）本地社区的每个站点来展示新的计算机和互联网技术，但也收集和传播知识关于用于数字课程材料的当代生活方式。
受到我自己的冒险经历的启发，我今天能想到的最具启发性的探险家（无论是专业，业余还是偶然）是那些选择缓慢而通常在自己的力量下旅行的人。全心全意地将自己抛在自然和文化中；惊叹于当地知识和创造力；并庆祝机会与那种慷慨和热情友好的相遇，使我们对未来的希望。尽管以道德为基础，但对我来说，这听起来都不是无聊的！

* * * 利·舒尔曼（Leigh Shulman）has some specific tips about visiting Argentina:
为了巡回演出，而不是旅行，而是从当地一辆汽车的地方租一辆汽车，然后开车去Cafayate。这使您可以停下来并沿途远足地质地层。当地工匠在这些地方也出售手工制作的珠宝，陶器等。在阿根廷的萨尔塔（Salta），您也可以停在Posada de las Cabras，周围有最好的甜点，全部由山羊牛奶和奶酪制成。
I love that place. I do all my shopping there, and I try to go back to the same person. The vegetables are excellent quality, very fresh and grown locally. It's also super cheap and everything you cook with it tastes amazing.
I always encourage people to rent an apartment with kitchen, buy food at the market and cook for themselves. Living locally? Both ethical和愉快。

当我们旅行时，我们必须意识到当地文化，道德，期望和我们东道国的一些基本法律。我们需要记住，当我们在外国时，我们是客人，我们真的应该像好人一样行事。
你不在家里。这就是重点，不是吗？我的意思是大多数人都去体验新事物，地方和食物。因此，不要指望每个地方都会试图让您感到舒适。对我来说，旅行乐趣的一部分被迫离开我的舒适区。例如，当我绝对不知道它是什么时，我会从订购食物中获得很大的作用。
I understand not everyone is that adventurous, but I often hear travelers speak with a tone of disgust when they talk about the foods they can’t find, among other things, which I find ridiculous.
如果您的目标是体验一个地方，那么我想鼓励人们不仅参观大型旅游景点，还要前往更多的社区，寻找当地人在哪里吃饭和玩耍的地方，等等。
Try to make your time in a location as multidimensional as possible. Trust me, you'll enjoy it.

道德旅行有多种形式。虽然这可能意味着在荒野中进行粗暴而滚滚的郊游，但道德旅行通常是一个舒适且有些有条理的企业。想想哥斯达黎加的观鸟度假胜地，您可以找到一系列舒适水平，从简单到豪华，但都有舒适的住宿和令人印象深刻的食物。
It is more than just bird watching, archaeological sites or turtles laying eggs. Ethical travel requires a positive impact on the human community of an area. People who are well paid and employed in an ethical travel industry are much more likely to support that industry and protect the things that give them the ability to feed their families.
道德和愉悦齐头并进。大多数生态和道德旅行提供的生物舒适不仅是任何旅行的良好补充，而且令人愉悦的满足感也是知道您的旅游资金将受益并保留您所看到的人和事物。

I think you’ll agree with these ethical travel experts that this type of travel not only is pleasurable, but can change travel the way we know it. The choice between ethics and pleasure in travel is not an either/or proposition, and is really the result of a false dichotomy that many of us can and do overcome.
