Over-tourism: If We’re The Problem, Can We Be The Solution?
Here we go again. It’s the depths of winter and the holiday festivities are behind us. It is freezing cold. It is dark at 4pm. We have 37,000 emails to respond to which we have collectively vowed to ignore. So, we begin to daydream about our next holiday.
Sustainable Travel vs Eco-Tourism
We live in a time of heightened awareness regarding the impact travel has on our climate and I would hope that we can all agree that climate change exists, is a problem, and urgently needs to be addressed. To be honest, saying that it doesn’t exist is just bollocks and ignoring it doesn’t bear thinking about; not that we would have long to mull it over as current estimates by the United Nations state that by 2030 the damage to our climate will be irreversible. Simply put, if we don’t change our habits, we’re truly fucked. So how do we change our damaging travel habits and become more conscientious travellers?
