Flight shaming, volun-tourism, mega cruise ships, sustainability - all current hot topics in the travel world.
In this episode of ExtrvaVirgin podcast, we talk to Amanda Kendle, podcaster at The Thoughtful Travel Podcast about the positive and negative impacts of travel; environmental, cultural and economic.
Which destinations are taking the effects of over-tourism seriously and implementing strategies to control its impact?
We discuss 'slow' travel', voluntary tourism and whether Airbnb has a positive or negative impact on communities.
In the end, do we need to give up travelling or can we be more mindful travellers? Amanda certainly believes the latter and offers her own views and tips on how travellers can tread less gently on the earth.
