Responsible Travel

Foz do Iguacu is a Brazilian border town sitting near the Iguacu Falls. The Iguacu Falls are famous all over the world as the largest waterfalls. Being near such a majestic sight, the town welcomes many tourists from the Brazilian side, which resulted in its popularity. You will find that the town doesn't home much natural or historical landmark, but the local communities' cultures and traditions are Foz do Iguacu’s prominent feature. Foz do Iguacu is the 7th largest town in the state of Paraná in Brazil and also one of the most western city in the state. The residents of the town go by the name iguaçuenses. It covers an area of 617.70 square kilometers, where a total of 258,000 iguaçuenses reside. Another highlighting feature of this small border town is that it is home to the Itaipu Dam, which ranks second as the largest hydroelectric power plant after the Three Gorges Dam in China.

The town's main income is tourism; therefore, most locals are involved in tourism-related businesses. Because of such type of occupation, the locals possess a kind, gentle, and hospital behavior. You will find that most tourists often take advantage of the locals, which creates a bad tourist image in the locals' minds. You must try your best to respect the locals and show your gratitude to them for being such hospitable hosts. Foz do Iguacu's pollution levels are shallow. This is because the locals use public transports and other eco-friendly measures. You must also follow such sustainable measures to make your trip eco-friendly in all aspects. The best way is by opting for an eco-friendly hotel, lodge, or guesthouse. It is because these places use many eco friendly measures to keep their and their guests' carbon footprint minimal. You must also try your best to support such local businesses as with the increasing tourism rates. Many international and retail chains have started opening up in the town, which are overshadowing the local businesses. If you use the local businesses or people's services, you will help them get some money through their services and products and continue doing their business. Thus, it would be best if you tried different eco-friendly measures to make your trip sustainable because the increasing tourism rates will negatively impact the local environment, leading to degrading the locals' standard of living and losing various cultural and traditional heritage.


Air Quality and Pollution

There is not much air pollution in this country. It is because most of the public uses public transport to move around in this city. However, a little pollution is still present in this city, gradually increasing every year as the locals shift towards their vehicles rather than public transport. If this gradual increase is not taken care of, it can create some severe health problems in the upcoming years, including asthma, lung cancer, and other respiratory problems. As a tourist yourself, you must avoid contributing to any activity that may cause severe harm to the local environment. This includes using plastic items, motorized-vehicles, non-degradable items, improper disposal of waste, etc.


Respect the Culture

We must respect the cultures of the place we are visiting. Respecting a culture helps us learn various things, including their history, traditions, beliefs, faith, and many other things. Every culture is emotionally connected with its groups; therefore, we must not disrespect it as disrespecting it will develop various grudges towards you. Brazilian law states that any person defaming any religion and its belief can be penalized with a certain sum or imprisonment. Mostly followed religion in this city is Christianity; therefore, most of the cultures and festivals celebrated here are Christian festivals.
