Further depth: what is sustainable tourism as a discipline?

What are the main features of sustainable tourism?

Sustainable tourism examines how travel can remain environmentally responsible, socially respectful, and economically viable while protecting the long-term qualities that make destinations liveable and attractive.

  • Community empowerment: Local residents participate in tourism planning and operations so that development reflects community priorities and distributes benefits beyond outside companies.
  • Economic viability: Tourism supports locally owned enterprises and destination services while remaining financially workable without exhausting the environmental or cultural resources on which it depends.
  • Sociocultural awareness: Tourism activities respect traditions, customs, heritage, and local knowledge while encouraging exchanges that do not reduce culture to a commercial performance.
  • Environmental responsibility: Destinations and tourism operators reduce unnecessary water and energy use, limit waste, and support the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.
  • Long-term balance: Sustainable tourism considers visitor expectations alongside the continuing well-being of residents, landscapes, businesses, cultural practices, and future destination users.

What are important sub-areas of sustainable tourism?

The discipline includes several connected approaches that focus on particular relationships between tourism, natural environments, local economies, cultural heritage, community participation, and destination management.

  • Community-based tourism: Local families and organizations manage accommodation, guiding, meals, or activities so that decision-making and tourism income remain closely connected to the community.
  • Ecotourism: Travel focuses on natural environments while limiting ecological disturbance, educating visitors, contributing to conservation, and creating appropriate benefits for nearby communities.
  • Sustainable hospitality: Accommodation providers address energy use, water consumption, purchasing, waste, local employment, and guest behavior as interconnected parts of responsible operations.
  • Cultural tourism: Locally guided experiences present traditions, heritage, crafts, and stories while seeking to preserve cultural meaning and prevent exploitative or inauthentic representation.
  • Destination management: Public authorities, businesses, residents, and other organizations coordinate tourism development, visitor flows, infrastructure, conservation, and community interests across a destination.
  • Responsible mobility: Tourism planning considers walking, cycling, public transport, shared travel, and lower-impact vehicles as alternatives to resource-intensive transportation practices.

What are key concepts in sustainable tourism?

Sustainable tourism is organized around concepts that clarify how benefits, responsibilities, environmental limits, community interests, and visitor activities interact within a destination.

  • Sustainability: Tourism meets present visitor and destination needs

Understanding another person and another culture: what, why, and where to go?

Back to top

What does it mean to understand another person and another culture?

  • Understanding another person and another culture abroad means trying to look beyond your own norms, values, and customs.
  • Every culture has its own way of communicating, collaborating, dealing with time, hierarchy, emotions, and relationships. What is “normal” for you may be unusual or even rude elsewhere.
  • Understanding another culture does not mean that you have to adopt everything or agree with everything, but rather that you:
    • are aware of differences
    • are open to other perspectives
    • try to see behavior and situations in context
  • Understanding another person or another culture plays a role in almost everything you do abroad: working, traveling, living, collaborating, and communicating.
Back to top

What can you do to better understand other people and cultures?

  • In addition to undertaking activities such as volunteering, working abroad, and internships, there are also personal things you can do such as:
  • Actively listening to people and their stories.
  • Observing how people interact with each other (for example, at work or in families). 
  • Asking questions about customs, practices, and traditions.
  • Delving into the history and culture of a country.
  • Participating in local activities or traditions.
  • Reflecting on your own behavior and assumptions.
  • Collaborating with local colleagues or communities.
  • Adapting to local customs where possible.

  • To get to know yourself better: you become more aware of your own beliefs and behavior.
  • To collaborate more effectively: understanding other working styles and forms of communication makes collaboration easier.
  • To get more out of your experience: you experience a country and culture in a deeper and more meaningful way.
Back to top

What skills and qualities do you need to understand other people and cultures?

  • Empathy: being able to put yourself in the thoughts and feelings of others.
  • Open attitude: being willing to accept new perspectives without immediately judging.
  • Communication skills: being able to communicate clearly and respectfully, even when things go differently than you are used to.
  • Reflective capacity: being able to reflect on your own behavior and assumptions.
  • Flexibility: being able to adapt to other ways of thinking and acting.
Back to top

What are the best countries to learn to understand other people and cultures better?

Back to top

What are the risks and points of attention regarding understanding other people and cultures?

  • That you judge quickly based on your own frame of reference without understanding the context.
  • That misunderstandings arise due to differences in communication (e.g., direct versus indirect).
  • That you unintentionally come across as disrespectful due to behavior, clothing, or language use. 
  • Frustration arises when things run differently than you are used to (for example, planning or punctuality).
  • You lose yourself in adapting and no longer properly guard your own boundaries.
Back to top

Are you insured, and what should you look out for?

  • Understanding cultures is less about direct risks, but often about the context in which you work or travel.
  • Cultural misunderstandings can sometimes also affect work situations or safety, so good preparation is important.
  • When you are understanding other people and cultures abroad and you are working, doing an internship, or volunteer and when you receive compensation or a salary, your own health insurance coverage in your home country may lapse. See the pages on: paid work, for internships and for volunteer work abroad.

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid work abroad.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for paid work abroad.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally do not provide sufficient coverage to apply for a work visa or working holiday visa.
  • Standard travel insurance policies generally only cover stays abroad for a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that there will be no coverage for the entire travel period.

What is insurance for working with animals abroad?

  • Insuring yourself for working abroad with animals means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your paid, unpaid, or internship work abroad, where minor or major risks are involved.
Back to top

Why take out insurance, and when is normal travel insurance no longer sufficient?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for work abroad.
  • During specific work abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only special insurance policies offer coverage during this type of work. Almost all standard insurers exclude working with animals from coverage.
  • The risk of accidents is sometimes greater during your work, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work. All over the world, there are reserves, rescue centers, and zoos where you can roll up your sleeves as a veterinarian, intern, or volunteer. Working with animals or wildlife is not without danger. No matter how cute they may look, or how tame they may behave. All animals can suddenly bite viciously or lash out with a claw or beak. Not only can this result in nasty injuries, but it can also transmit diseases that you would rather not have, and certainly not abroad.
  • During work, internships, or volunteer work abroad where you receive a salary or compensation (for example, food or housing), your local health insurance coverage will normally lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • During your work, local employers generally offer no or limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for an internship abroad?

Internship abroad with the right insurance

Back to top

What is insurance for an internship abroad?

  • Insuring an internship abroad means taking out insurance that continues to provide coverage during your internship abroad
  • Insurance for internships abroad are also referred to as internship insurance. This internship insurance is specifically for when you go abroad for a long period of time to work as an intern, take courses, or conduct research abroad.
Back to top

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for an internship abroad?

  • There may be several reasons why you need separate insurance for an internship abroad.
  • During internship activities abroad, additional requirements may apply as soon as you start performing work that involves additional risks. Only specific insurance policies offer coverage during these activities.
  • During your internship, the risk of accidents is sometimes greater, for example because you are doing work with which you have little experience or because of the nature of the work.
  • During your internship, local employers generally do not offer insurance, or offer limited insurance that does not provide sufficient coverage.
  • During an internship abroad where you receive financial compensation (or, for example, food or accommodation), your home country's health insurance coverage will potentially lapse. You will then need special insurance to remain insured for illness and accidents.
  • Regular travel insurance policies generally provide coverage for trips of a limited number of days. If your trip or stay abroad exceeds the maximum number of days, this generally means that for the entire travel period, you will not be covered.
  • Regular travel insurance policies generally only provide coverage for recreational trips without work activities.
Back to top

What is important to insure when you are going to be an intern abroad?

  • That you have insurance that is valid in the area where you will be traveling and doing your internship.
  • That you are adequately insured for the sports and activities you will be participating in.
  • That you are insured for emergency assistance and early return in case something happens to you or your immediate family.
  • That your medical expenses are insured up to the actual cost (what it actually costs), and not just for the standard costs. The costs per medical treatment vary greatly between countries.
  • That you insure your luggage and take sufficient precautions against theft or damage.
  • That you are well insured against personal liability and, preferably, also for liability during your internship.
  • That you are well insured in case of accidents.
  • That you insure yourself for legal assistance if there is an immediate reason to do so, unless the coverage is already automatically included in the insurance.
  • Make sure you choose the right coverage for internship work in healthcare, with wild animals, or with dangerous machinery!

Studying abroad with the right insurance

Back to top

What is insurance for studying abroad?

  • Insurance for studying abroad is also referred to as study insurance. This study insurance is specifically for when you go abroad for a long period of time to take courses, study, or conduct research abroad.

  • Study insurance is also suitable for many types of activities, ranging from various sports to hiking at high altitudes.

  • Study insurance continues to provide coverage if your own country's health insurance no longer provides coverage.
  • Student insurance also covers your healthcare costs above the rates in your own country; with regular insurance, you have to pay the extra costs yourself.
  • Student insurance can also continue to provide coverage if (study) visa issuers impose additional requirements on how you insure yourself, for example if you are going to the US and applying for a J-1 visa.
  • Student insurance continues to provide coverage if you are staying abroad for a longer period of time and want to visit your own country in between.
Back to top

    Back to top

    What sports activities to do abroad?

    • Have you ever thought of mountain biking, rafting (going down a wild river on a raft or rubber dinghy, climbing or canoeing), survival (which involves building rafts, climbing or canoeing), abseiling (descending a rock face while secured to ropes), zip-lining (whizzing down a cable), canyoning (starting at the top of a river and then climbing, swimming, diving down the bed) or caving (scrambling, wriggling and crawling through caves and crevices)?
    • Maybe you feel more comfortable on a bodyboard (on a half-wave surfboard, you surf the high waves lying down-with flippers), on a hang glider or while paragliding (with a parachute you float down a mountain or dune), hydrospeeding (on a bodyboard with flippers and a wetsuit on you go down a wild river via rapids) or Tiefschneeskiing (racing down through powder snow)?
