This is according to non-profit group Ethical Traveler, which is a project of Earth Island Institute.
Every year, the group releases an annual list of the 10 most forward-thinking countries in the developing world.
Each country is reviewed for its performance in the areas of human rights, social welfare, animal welfare and environmental protection, while also having appeal as a travel destination.
