Code
of Ethics for TouristsCode
of Ethics for TouristsA high quality tourism experience depends on the conservation of our natural resources, the protection of our environment, and the preservation of our cultural heritage. The Tourism Industry Association of Canada, in cooperation with the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy, has developed and adopted a Code of Ethics and Practices to achieve these objectives. You can help us in our continuing efforts by giving consideration to the following guidelines.
1. Enjoy our diverse natural and cultural heritage and help us to protect and preserve it.
2. Assist us in our conservation efforts through the efficient use of resources including energy and water.
3. Experience the friendliness of our people and the welcoming spirit of our communities. Help us to preserve these attributes by respecting our traditions, customs and local regulations.
4. Avoid activities which threaten wildlife or which may be potentially damaging to our natural environment.
5. Select tourism products and services which demonstrate social, cultural, and environmental sensitivity.
We wish you a pleasurable and rewarding visit and look forward to welcoming you again soon.
