So I hear a lot of talk about the negative impacts of travelling, but what if we choose to travel more responsibly? Personally, I believe there is such a thing and our collective choice does make an impact on the world.
Last year the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) organized a campaign called One Billion Tourists: One Billion Opportunities to advocate responsible travelling through many different practices.

The campaign actually began in conjunction with the one billionth person crossing the international border in the year 2012. It proves that travelling doesn't need to equate to negative impacts to the society and environment of a certain country, and can in fact bring about beneficial and sustainable opportunities.

The supporters of the campaign were even featured on the Thunderclap website.
