THE CRITICAL TOURIST MANIFESTO

Fellow travelers on the road to greater understanding – as we open our eyes to both the beauty and hard truths in cultures near and far, let these principles inform how we walk in the world.

1. Seek to Understand Before Being Understood

Set aside assumptions to see through others’ perspectives with empathy, compassion, and an open exchange of ideas.

2. Question Norms and Preconceptions

Critically examine even your own trusted views to recognize limiting biases and challenge structures upholding inequity.

3. Amplify Unheard Voices

Actively seek out and elevate the stories of those marginalized from mainstream narratives to promote understanding across divisions.

4. Confront Injustice

Where you witness harm, speak out bravely but do so through respectful dialogue and community-driven solutions over calls to action.

5. Learn from Past and Present

Study history for lessons on how we got here and talk to those living experiences outside your own to trace paths towards progress.

6. Build Bridges Across Borders

Through bringing diverse groups together over shared hopes, counteract the divisiveness that ignorance breeds between all people.

7. Share Knowledge Generously

Having gained fresh insight, pay it forward by openly discussing discoveries, analyzing systems, and sparking thoughtful debates.

8. Support Local Movements

Lend aid through mindful consumption, volunteering, and spreading awareness of grassroots efforts driving change from within.

9. Stay Wary of Easy Answers

Complex societal issues often lack simple fixes; maintain humility and keep an open mind to new evidence.

10. Keep an Open and Inquisitive Mind

Travel not just with your body but with an eagerness to learn, questioning your own intuitions and assumptions every step of the way.
