On my recent tour in Manila, I was surprised by all the single-use containers. Every vendor used plastic bags and styrofoam boxes for snacks. This trash often gets left on streets or thrown into rivers. I heard from a guide that some tours now give guests reusable bags. We need to pick tours that care about cutting waste. If we don't, these places might get too dirty to enjoy. Let's ask about green steps when we book our next trip.
