When traveling in a developing country, travelers often visit bazars and markets where bargaining is expected. Many times they are also approached for handouts by and beggars on the streets.
1. Try bargaining for quantity rather than a lower price...two pashminas for the price of one!!
2. Buy more locally made gifts than you ordinarily would as this promotes jobs and helps the economy. Patronize local vendors and shops rather than high end emporiums.
3. Rather than handing out cash, make a small donation to a local school, the donation can be as simple as pens and pencils.
