Tomorrow starts Responsible Tourism Week

I forget sometimes that one of my areas of interest/expertise is cultural tourism. Ron Mader of Planeta calls our attention to Responsible Tourism Week, which starts tomorrow. The webpage offers these tips:

Walk the talk - Practice responsible tourism where you are.
Play nice! - Use Responsible Tourism Week as an opportunity to build healthy relationships at the local and international levels.
Make it delicious - Eat good local food and let visitors know where to treat their taste buds well.
Be generous! - Compliment someone via twitter, fave a photo or write a testimonial on Flickr, give a thumbs up to a video on YouTube.
Be creative - Make your own poster or graphic for RT Week!
Have your say - What is responsible tourism? Please answer the rt survey
Show your savvy - Use the hashtag: #rtweek2010
