We interpret Responsible Tourism as an attempt to create a symbiotic relationship between those curious to explore (the guests) and those desirous of providing a memorable experience (the hosts) of the diversity that the destination has to offer. By being Responsible Tourism enablers, we subscribe to the seven tenets as adapted from ICRT (International Conference on Responsible Tourism). Thus, Responsible Tourism

1. minimises the negative economic, environmental and social impact of its activities.

2. ensure that host communities get a greater income through the tourism related activities.

3. involves local people in decisions that are likely to affect their lives.

4. makes a positive contribution to the natural and cultural heritage of an area.

5. provides a more enjoyable experience for guests through ensuring meaningful exchanges with the host communities and through ensuring a greater understanding of their lives.

6. ensures that a locale is accessible to all guests.

7. is culturally sensitive, creating space for guests and hosts to respect each other and build up on local pride and confidence.
