Season 7 Episode 3: Dr. Derek Bryce on Responsible Travel, Supporting Communities and Sustainability
Travel has grown exponentially to the point that some tourist destinations are implementing measures to manage over-tourism and protect their local communities and natural resources. This approach aims to balance the economic benefits of tourism with the preservation of the destination’s cultural and environmental assets. We are being told to travel responsibly, but what does that mean?
Dr. Bryce is joining me today to discuss how to travel responsibly in a world when tourism is in the ascendency. With February here, it’s the perfect time to discuss how we can plan our travels more thoughtfully this year.
So, put the kettle on and add to this exciting conversation.
Thank you, Derek, for sharing your knowledge, experience, and insights. You reminded us that when we travel responsibly, we preserve the environment by reducing our carbon footprint. When we support local economies, we contribute to sustainable tourism practices and promote cultural understanding. When we respect local communities, we enhance our personal growth through new experiences and perspectives gained.
Responsible travel can lead to meaningful connections with people from different backgrounds, fostering a sense of global citizenship and empathy towards others.
Listeners, thank you for joining Derek and me on Tea Toast and Trivia.
Until next time we meet dear friends, safe travels wherever your adventures lead you
