Etiquette and Courtesy for Tourists & Visitors

Thought I'd start this because of a conversation with a friend. Their main complaint is when tourists and visitors come up to them and start asking nosy questions about how they dress, etc. They live near a tourist town. They have a farm so they wear overalls or other non-trendy clothing.

So two I want to share.
1. Don't go up to people and ask them about their clothing or their religion.
2. Don't park the RV in spaces in small towns. Parking is limited enough for many of those towns. Find out where you can park your rig without taking up 2 or more parking spots.

Are there any guidelines you would like to share about how to behave as a tourist or visitor?
  • Well FULLTIMEWANNABE, most of the towns and cities in the USA don’t depend on yours or any tourists’ dollars to function and thrive. They have their own economies. I like visiting these places. Anywhere we travel we remember that we are the guests in their communities and towns. So we behave as though we were in someone else’s home - which we all are when visiting another place. It’s about courtesy and etiquette in respect to the places hosting us as guests.

    Back to the topic please, it is a simple and worthwhile question: "Are there any guidelines you would like to share about how to behave as a tourist or visitor?"

    For example, Don't be loud and obnoxious. :)
  • Some of the best advice this thread could reveal is 'don't dictate to others your own feelings'.
