How to save the world from overtourism and make travel sustainable following the pandemic
Description
The tenth episode of The Well-Travelled Podcast is all about how we as travellers and the travel industry should recover from the pandemic, by prioritising long-term sustainability, and reframing our mindset and attitudes towards to travel, to avoid falling back into the trap of mass tourism at pre-pandemic levels. It starts with an overview of how the world reached a state of overtourism. We then turn to the actions that governments, the travel industry, tourism marketers and we as individuals should take to capitalise on this unique moment in time, during the pandemic, to re-design travel and build back better and more sustainably in future, to save the world's treasures for decades and generations to come.
