Great guide- but take the train - By: Peter Shield, 11 Apr 2007
Ethical Tourism, responsible travel, Fair Trade Travel what ever you want to calll it is in its early days, but already it is showing that is capturing the imagination of people who want a more intense experience of world cultures & people as well as ensuring that the tourist pound is ending up in the pockets of the community visited & not some multinational tour operator or hotel chain.If you are going to travel the world The Ethical Travel Guide is a great route planner both to help you understand the cultures, environment of people as well as contribute the maximum while disturbing the minimum. It pulls out innovative / community tourist projects alll over the world which will give the traveller a series of unique experiences of the culture, people & environment of the region.

The only poor area of the book is on air travel- the advice on the EU Carbon Trading scheme is just plain wrong- air travel is not included at the moment in the EU tarding scheme, nor does the scheme give money to carbon cutting schemes. All evidence is that plane travel is just plain bad for the planet- trains, boats & buses on the other hand let you see the world up close.
