Timor-Leste 서약
젊은 국가, 유구한 문화, 그리고 지구에 남은 몇 안 되는 청정 산호초. 이 소중함을 지키기 위해 모든 방문객께 부탁드리는 방법을 안내합니다.
As a guest of Timor-Leste, I make this promise to its people and its land.
- I will tread lightly on the reefs and the beaches, and take only photographs.
- I will honour what is sacred: the uma lulik, the ceremonies, the customs of tara bandu.
- I will ask before I photograph, and listen before I speak.
- I will carry my rubbish back with me, especially from the islands.
- I will travel the mountain roads with patience and care.
- I will spend with local hands: guides, weavers, cooks, and families.
I will leave Timor-Leste as I found it: unspoiled, and proud.
Timor-Leste의 사람들과 땅에 드리는 약속
배려하며 여행하는 여섯 가지 방법
작은 선택이 Timor-Leste를 특별하게 만드는 것을 지켜냅니다. 가장 중요한 것들을 소개합니다.
Protect the reef
Atauro Island holds the greatest reef-fish diversity ever recorded, verified by Conservation International. Never touch, stand on, or collect coral. Cover up with clothing and shade first; where you need sunscreen, choose a water-resistant mineral one and apply it well before entering the water.
Honour the sacred
Uma lulik (sacred houses), ceremonies, and tara bandu customary law are living traditions, not attractions. Ask permission before you enter or photograph, and follow your host’s lead.
Leave no trace
Waste collection is limited, and on Atauro and Jaco there is almost none. Carry your rubbish back to the mainland, and refuse single-use plastic where you can.
Travel gently
The roads are winding, beautiful, and still developing. Drive slowly, give way to people and animals, and build extra time into every journey rather than rushing it.
Spend with local hands
Hire Timorese guides, eat at local kios — small family-run eateries — and buy tais directly from the weavers. The more your money stays in the community, the more tourism gives back.
Keep Jaco sacred
Jaco Island is sacred to the Timorese. No one stays overnight. Visit for the day, take nothing, and leave the island to the spirits as generations have before you.
