The world’s best ethical destinations

Via Local Travel Movement

Ethical Traveler is a non-profit organisation is “dedicated to educating travelers about the social and environmental impact of their decisions, showing how travel can be a potent form of diplomacy, and giving travelers a forum through which their united voices can serve the world community.” Every year, Ethical Traveler does a (quite thorough, it seems) survey of the “10 best ethical destinations”, where they mostly look at the environmental protection, social welfare and human rights protection.  

The winners, in alphabetical order (not in order of merit), are:

Argentina *
Barbados
Chile *
Costa Rica
Dominica
Latvia
Lithuania *
Palau
Poland *
Uruguay

(* = also appeared on our 2010 list).

Every year Ethical Traveler conducts a study of developing nations to identify the best tourism destinations among them. The research focusses on three categories: Environmental Protection, Social Welfare and Human Rights
