~清心看世界~

旅遊是一把雙刃劍，我們希望接觸異地文化、享受異國風情，透過文化交流增加對世界的認識；對當地人而言也是改善生活的一條出路，有機會認識來自他鄉的新事物，同時發掘自身的獨特之處。

但旅遊對社會和環境帶來的衝擊可以很大，眼見一些地方為了接待遊客、迎合遊客的喜好而失去原有的風味；政府大興土木，迎接無數的旅行團，更是遺害不淺；遊客欠缺尊重，甚至無視他人傳統，也會使當地人和遊客之間的矛盾加劇。

以下十七項提醒，如作者所說，並非一些規矩甚至教條，或許有些你會認同，有些你會認為沒有必要，卻是一個起點讓我們反思如何才能成為一個優良的遊客。我們需要做的應當遠多於此，然而在旅程中難免會有所忽略，但我希望人們無論身在何方，至少能常存一份信念：尊重生命、愛護環境、平等待人。
