PLEASE TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY The following are a few simple tips that require very little effort on your part but which will help ensure that any effect you have on the locations you visit is positive rather than negative. • Conserve energy: Be careful not to waste valuable resources. Use local resources sparingly. Switch off lights, air conditioning and fans when you leave the hotel room and don’t waste water. • The Maldives has far less efficient waste disposal systems than you will be used to. Remove packaging from newly acquired items before leaving home. • Choose environmentally friendly products: By using environmentally reef friendly (biodegradable) sun creams you can help reduce pollution. • Refuse plastic straws at cafes and plastic bags when shopping. • Do not touch or feed marine life and follow the Green Fin Snorkeling Principals.
