Travel Morality Index: The Most Ethical Places to Travel in 2019

Travelers have enormous power. With so many countries around the world relying on tourism as one of their main sources of income, travelers have the ability to choose to visit destinations that adhere to solid and upstanding ethical, environmental and moral practices. Conversely, travelers can opt to boycott places or events that don’t meet such standards in an effort to force change.

With this concept in mind, The Latin America Travel Company recently created a Travel Morality Index, a ranking of destinations that meet the highest morality standards. The ranking is based on a review of such things as a country’s human rights protection score, animal rights legislation, gender equality rates and far more. For those looking to vote with their travel dollars, here are the 10 countries that came out on top of the Travel Morality Index.
