peace through tourism
As members of the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism (IIPT) we support the the belief that the the travel industry can become the world’s first global peace industry Every traveller is potentially an “Ambassador for Peace” We urge you to read and enact the IIPT’s Credo of the Peaceful Traveller below 4
IIPT’s Credo of the Peaceful Traveller Grateful for the the opportunity to travel and experience the the world and because peace begins with the individual I affirm my personal responsibility and commitment to:
JOURNEY with an an open mind and gentle heart ACCEPT with grace and gratitude
the diversity I encounter
REVERE and protect the natural environment which sustains all life
APPRECIATE all cultures I I discover
RESPECT and thank my hosts for their welcome OFFER my hand in friendship to everyone I meet
SUPPORT travel services that share these views and and act upon them and and by my spirit words and actions encourage others to travel the the world in peace A
