Exclusive Features - Ethical Tourism
Stop! Are your holidays destroying communities?
We all want to be able to visit the most remote, untouched and unusual places in the world. We want to explore and discover new communities and cultures. But how can we without destroying the very essence of what we are going to see?
Tourists visiting the World Heritage-listed ruins of Angkor in northwestern Cambodia bring much-needed foreign cash to one of Southeast Asia's poorest countries. But numbers are growing more rapidly than at any other World Heritage site, putting unprecedented pressure on these important monuments. And this is a problem being repeated in heritage sites all over the world. How can we stop our insatiable appetite to discover historical sites from destroying them and their communities?

- The history of the Angkor Temples
- Interviews with local guardians of the sites
- Local governments policies and goals
- The price of fame for these sites
