Travel thoughtfully
Make local visits with fewer assumptions
Ask before photographing, entering private spaces or treating a community as an attraction.
Follow the place’s instructions
Read signs and listen to site staff about access, dress and photography. Different locations have different rules. If you are unsure, ask rather than infer permission from another visitor’s behaviour.
Choose a clear service
For a guide or workshop, ask what the booking includes, the meeting point and payment conditions. Avoid claims about community benefits unless the organiser can explain how the arrangement works.
Leave useful feedback
Describe the service you actually received without revealing personal details about residents. Distinguish a dated experience from a claim that conditions will be identical for the next visitor.
