Ke puka mai nā makasina huakaʻi a me nā paena me nā papa inoa ʻumi "eco" kiʻekiʻe, ʻo lākou ka ʻumi mau wahi kiʻekiʻe i hana i ka hana maikaʻi e kūʻai aku ana iā lākou iho he ʻōmaʻomaʻo. ʻAe, paʻakikī paha kēlā. He mau wahi maʻamau lākou e hana nei i nā mea me ke kuleana no ka mea ʻaʻohe mea hoʻoponopono e makemake e kiʻi i kahi pūʻulu o ka leka inaina a i ʻole he pūʻulu o nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo pūnaewele mai ka lehulehu eco no ke kōkua ʻana i kahi hoʻomaha a i ʻole kahi huakaʻi i ka "greenwashing." ʻO ka papa inoa o ka Ethical Traveler o nā wahi huakaʻi kūpono loa, akā naʻe, ua paʻa i ka noiʻi, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i nā kumu hilinaʻi like ʻole a ʻaʻole wale i ka hana kaiapuni o nā ʻāina like ʻole, akā i kā lākou hana pilikanaka a politika.
ʻIke ʻoe pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke haʻi aku i kēia poʻe i hana i kā lākou haʻawina home? ʻAʻole ʻo Costa Rica ma ka papa inoa. Heluhelu pololei ʻoe, ʻo Costa "ke kapikala o ka huakaʻi kaiaola" ʻaʻole ʻo Rica ma ka papa inoa ... ʻo ka hapa nui ma muli o ka ulu nui ʻana o kāna kālepa wahine ma lalo o ka makahiki. "I ka makahiki 2008, ua paipai ikaika mākou i ka poʻe huakaʻi e lawe mai i kā lākou kālepa i Costa Rica - kahi ʻāina i helu ʻia e nā hōʻailona koʻikoʻi he nui," i kākau ai nā mea kākau o ka hōʻike.
"Eia naʻe, ke manaʻo nei ka World Vision iā Costa Rica i waena o nā wahi kaulana loa o ka honua no nā mea hoʻokamakama, me ka nui o nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi wahine e hana nei. Wahi a Casa Alianza, ʻoi aku ma mua o 3,000 mau kaikamahine a me nā wahine ʻōpio e hana ana ma nā hale hoʻokamakama 300 o San Jose. I kēia manawa ke hoʻokūkū nei ʻo Thailand a me Philippines ma ke ʻano he wahi mākaʻikaʻi wahine nui o ka honua, ʻike ʻia ʻo Costa Rica i ka pilikia nui o ka hoʻokamakama keiki o ka ʻāina a no laila ua hōʻailona ʻia e INTERPOL, ʻoiai ke lilo nei ka ʻāina i ke kapikala hemispheric o ka mākaʻikaʻi wahine. ʻO ia ke kumu i hiki ʻole ai iā mākou ke ʻōlelo aku iā Costa Rica ma ke ʻano he Ethical Destination.
ʻO kahi wahi ʻē aʻe kahaha ʻole? ʻO Bhutan, ka ʻāina kaulana loa no kāna ana ʻana i ka Hauoli Lahui Nui. ʻOiaʻiʻo paha ʻo ia ka wahi etika loa ma ka honua, ʻaʻole? ʻAʻole nui loa. "ʻOiai kona nani kūlohelohe a me kona kūpaʻa kūʻokoʻa i ka mālama ʻana i ke kaiapuni, ke hoʻopilikia ʻia nei ke aupuni aupuni kiʻekiʻe e nā pilikia pono kanaka," wahi a ka hōʻike. "ʻO kēia mau hopohopo e pili ana i ka hopena o ka 100,000 Bhutanese o Nepalese, ka poʻe i kipaku ʻia mai ka ʻāina i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 1990 a ke noho nei i nā kahua hoʻokele ma ka palena ʻo Bhutan / West Bengal / Nepal."
ʻO ka poʻe i hana i ka papa inoa, aia kekahi mau mea kupanaha ma laila, akā hele mai nā mea āpau me nā wehewehe kikoʻī. I ka wā mua, manaʻo wau ʻo ʻAmelika ʻo #1 ma ka papa inoa ʻelua mau makahiki ma ka lālani, akā ua ʻike wau ua helu ʻia lākou ma ka alphabetically. ʻO kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao, ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe wau i ka kuʻemaka a noʻonoʻo, "Argentina, ʻaʻole anei lākou he nui nā pilikia palaho?" ʻAe, hana lākou. Akā, ua kūpaʻa pū ka ʻāina i ka pahuhopu o ka neʻe ʻana i nā ululāʻau net-zero a ʻo ia ke alakaʻi o ka honua i ka hoʻemi ʻana i nā hoʻokuʻu kinoea hoʻomehana honua.
A ʻo Ghana, kahi hoʻohui hou i ka papa inoa, e like me ka Ethical Traveler, "he kūpaʻa koʻikoʻi i ka demokala maoli, a me ka ulu ʻana o ka moʻomeheu o ka hoʻomau, ka ʻike kūlohelohe a me nā hana o ka ʻāina i ka hoʻomaikaʻi pono ʻana iā Ghana no nā poʻe Ghana a me nā mākaʻikaʻi."
Pono wau e ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ʻo ethics ka mea mua aʻu e noʻonoʻo ai i ka wā e hoʻolālā nei au i kahi huakaʻi. ʻO kēlā ʻōlelo, i ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia papa inoa, e nīnau paha wau iā ia i ka manawa aʻe aʻu i hōʻemi ai i kaʻu mau koho. A ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua kau ʻo Bhutan a me Costa Rica i kekahi mau wahi ma kaʻu papa inoa "kahi e hele ai aʻe".

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- They are usually places that are actually doing things responsibly because no editor wants to get a stack of hate mail or a bunch of crapy online comments from the eco crowd for assisting a resort or destination in “greenwashing.
- Now rivaling Thailand and the Philippines as the world's leading sex tourism destination, Costa Rica is credited with having the region's largest child prostitution problem and has thus been flagged by INTERPOL, as the country is fast becoming the hemispheric capital of sex tourism.
- And Ghana, a new addition to the list, has, according to Ethical Traveler, “an impressive commitment to genuine democracy, as well as a growing culture of sustainability, environmental consciousness and grassroots efforts towards responsibly improving Ghana for Ghanaians and tourists alike.
