Responsible Tourism: Offbeat Travel and Missing Infrastructure
Listen now
Description
Post pandemic travel brings with it an acute awareness of the modern urban triad of tourism, responsible choices, and replicating global experiences in local contexts. This gives India the unique opportunity to redefine the way we travel, how the hospitality sector responds, and how it intersects with our growing awareness of sustainable lifestyles. In this episode, Neha Simlai, Founder-Director of SPRF, talks about how the recent shift to off-beat travel changes the dynamics between local social and natural ecosystems and the modern-day tourist. Therein emerges a policy push for better infrastructure on hand and adoption of responsible tourism on the other.
