Tourism is cancer...
What is over lap between people bitching about climate change and going to 2 annual vacations with air travel?
You got downvoted but it is a fair question. I hope sustainability is started to be talked about more in the travel sector
They got downvoted because "tourism is cancer" is a dumb short sighted statement. No one is expected to stay in their little town and never visit anywhere else. It's nice to travel and experience the culture of other nations and towns and to know that there are other people besides the ones you interact with in your little bubble.
We only have one life and we need to be allowed to live it well. It's completely unfair to expect the lower and middle classes to stick to their small towns in the name of sustainability when the rich are doing as they want with absolutely zero regard for the environment.
At least tourism actually supports local economies and the people living in those destinations.
Billionaires are out here flying around to avoid traffic (ie Elon Musk) and people are out here shitting on me for my 1 trip a year to visit my family
If y'all wanna buy me a house out there and pay my moving costs so I don't have to fly anymore to see them then I welcome the opportunity
