Megan Epler Wood on 'Overtourism' & Jon Dore on '50 Ways to Kill Your Mom'
from Zoomer Week in Review · host Zoomer Podcast Network
So you’re finally taking that big trip on the bucket list only to find that you’re sharing your experience of ancient sites and breathtaking landscapes with hordes of other tourists. You may also be hurting the locals by using up their resources and pricing them out of the market. That was partly Libby's experience on a recent trip to Greece. It’s a fairly new phenomenon called "overtourism" and Libby checked in with Megan Epler Wood, Director of Harvard’s International Sustainable Tourism Initiative. And A new VisionTV series follows Zoomers and their children on their adventures of a lifetime, it’s called 50 Ways to Kill Your Mom. The concept is simple: celebrities take their parents on challenging, thrill-seeking inter-generational adventures and document it all in a reality TV series. Libby talked with Jon about his road trip with his mother.
