Responsible Travel

Europe is one of the most populous and well-maintained continents of the world. Germany is one of the most prosperous and highly visited countries in the world. Duisburg is one such state in Germany that is visited by tourists commonly. This city is located adjacent to the Rhine River and lies in Germany's western front. This city is one of the highly populated metropolitan cities in Germany.

Having a tourist in a city like this is beneficial. Still, a tourist should also know some of the boundaries and ethics they have to follow for that destination to prosper long after leaving the city. The following points will shine light upon some of the most basic etiquette and norm a tourist must follow when visiting Duisburg or rather any other country or state in the world.

  • Use public transport: People who come to visit a country often avoid public transport and book their own cars and vehicles. This must not be done. Using public transport is prosperous for the destination and helps to make the roads less clogged. We all know public transport has the capacity to hold ten times the number of passengers than a car.
  • Riding bicycles: This is one of the best ways one can travel to and from one place to another when visiting a destination. In Duisburg, there are ways through which one can hire bicycles. Riding a bicycle helps the city's environment and allows businesses to prosper, and even help you stay fit and healthy.
  • Throwing trash at specified places: People often make mistakes of throwing away their trash at any place they see fit. This is a very bad practice and is one such practice that must be stopped immediately. Several places in cities like Duisburg have been specified to dispose of garbage. People are often requested to dump their trash in these sites to maintain these cities' beauty and sanctity.

The air pollution level is low and possesses minimal risk. The AQI or the Air Quality Index of Duisburg belongs in a range of 10 to 15, and the humidity of this region is in the range of 60 to 90. These numbers indicate that there are no severe issues in the living condition of Duisburg. If the current way of life is followed, the situation might stay the same.

But this does not mean that the situation will not be the same in the future. People need to keep the practices that have been going on till now to maintain this level of satisfactory air quality; otherwise, serious issues might appear.
