We want you to know about "Kyoto Tourism Ethics"! Do you know about them?

We, the Cultural Edu-Tourism Council (CEC), have been recognized by the city of Kyoto as a "Kyoto Tourism Morals Excellent Business."
What is the Kyoto Tourist Code of Conduct (Kyoto Tourist Morals)?
Kyoto City and the Kyoto Tourism Association (DMO KYOTO), a public interest incorporated association, have compiled this Code of Conduct with the aim of creating sustainable tourism in Kyoto together with everyone involved in tourism in Kyoto, while respecting each other. In order for Kyoto to remain Kyoto, it is a code of conduct that tourism businesses and their employees, tourists, and the citizens who live in Kyoto should all cherish together, and acting in accordance with this code of conduct in each of our respective positions will lead to the passing of Kyoto to the future.

~To experience and enjoy Kyoto more deeply~

And now, we, the Cultural Edu-Tourism Council (CEC), have been recognized by the city of Kyoto as a "Kyoto Tourism Morals Excellent Business."
As a "cultural communicator that conveys the feelings of the region," CEC has sought to explore and put into practice a form of tourism that allows visitors and local people to respect each other and interact in a comfortable manner.
This initiative has been shaped by the accumulation of numerous projects in which we, together with over 30 CEC ambassadors, have learned from the local area, connected with the local area, and spread its charm to the world. We are truly pleased that our attitude of listening to the voices of the local community and striving for a tourism style that fosters culture together and passes it on to the future, rather than simply "consuming" it, has led to this recognition.

Our goal at CEC is to "create something beyond tourism." We want to foster tourism that can be passed on to the next generation by not just "encountering" culture and local areas, but by "getting involved" with them.
This award was made possible thanks to the support of all CEC members, the local community, and our partners. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you.
CEC will continue to create a "future of tourism that connects people, cultures, and regions" from Kyoto to the whole of Japan and then to the world.
We appreciate your continued support and cooperation.
