Be Economically Beneficial

Keep resources in the community.  Spend money so that it remains with the local people.  Stay in lodgings and use services owned by members of the community.  Buy locally produced food and beverages except when this would negatively affect the community’s supply.

Do not compete for scarce resources.  Where food and beverages are scare, either travel somewhere else or make sure you are self sufficient.

Do not patronize tourism establishments that undermine the local economy.  Avoid service providers that siphon money or resources away from local communities to the absentee elite or outside corporations.  Be aware that in most places, spending on motorized transport has minimal benefits to the local economy because the equipment and energy are imported.  Be sensitive to fair pricing and do not seek out bargains at the expense of the local producer.

Be satisfied with what the local economy can provide.  If you need all the comforts of home, why leave home in the first place?
