26. Sustainable Vacation or Bust!

Send us Fan MailHere’s today’s listener letter:Staying home during the pandemic gave me a lot of time to think about the travel I used to do. I’m glad I don’t have to take work trips anymore, but I miss going on vacation with my family. I think I’m ready to start getting out there again, so my question is, how do I take a sustainable vacation?

Doesn't take advantage of the locals? Links from today's conversation:Center for Responsible Travel tips for responsible travelhttps://30ghywahyur3pzyoi3qg4r9c-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/213/2021/03/responsible-travel-tips.pdfNYTimes piece on how to think about booking sustainable travelhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/22/travel/sustainable-travel.html?action=click&module=Editors%20Picks&pgtype=HomepageHow to Read Sustainable Travel Company Labelshttps://destinet.eu/who-who/civil-society-ngos/ecotrans/publications/guide-through-label-jungle-1/download/en/5/Labelguide%202016%20EN.pdf?action=view Send your questions to [email protected] the show at buymeacoffee.com/spenddonateMore episodes at: http://spenddonateinvest.worldSupport the show
