Abstract

Many study abroad students may feel that they are not tourists, and but in all reality they may very well be. Being a conscious tourist is a very important issue that is seldom, if ever, explained to students before they study abroad. Being a conscious tourist means you are aware of your surroundings and aware of the impact you have on the place you are visiting. In order to help study abroad students learn about this issue, I have created a website that explains conscious tourism and ways to practice it, alongside information about studying abroad and traveling on a budget. I focused on one city, Derry, Northern Ireland, to give an example of a place where conscious tourism is necessary, along with providing information about the city.
