Do you feel at all like your company is exploiting the locals of the areas you do the excursions in? Is it weird to you/do you think most of the guests realize the look and feel of the country is much different outside of the places set up for tourists/cruises? Do you think the locals in the area view the cruise company’s in a good light since they bring tourism and money to their country or might the opposite be true? I remember taking a cruise to Honduras as a kid, all of the excursions didn’t seem Interesting to us so we walked outside of the tourist area and found a person with a car to
Show us around the area for the day. He ended up being extremely friendly and showed us local shops and a great seafood place. We paid him around $250+ for the day, was this a potentially dangerous situation and do you think that was fair compensation. Sorry for so many questions and thanks for your insight:)
