Endangered Destinations

Travel_boomer

Hi all: Dropping in for a minute: A lot of indigenous Amazonian cultures are threatened due to more and more encroachment onto the forests they live in -- it damages both them and the whole planet #TRLT

A5 Use skyscanner and search for flights to anywhere. We do this a lot when we travel and it means we’ve been to less obvious destinations that don’t necessarily suffer from overtourism, like Gdańsk, Krk Island and Taipei #trlt

A5. Follow @leavenotrace principles & try to put at least part of your money spent towards the locals or organizations/businesses which respect the environment. #TRLT

A5: I try to find alternatives to overcrowded destinations, and to promote them on my blog. Like Leiden, a sort of mini-Amsterdam @ramblrramblr #TRLT #travel #TravelTuesday

A5: To help preserve a destination (from a cultural perspective) avoid seeking things such as food and music that you are used to having at home. Shun the similarities and embrace the differences and enjoy the diversity this planet has to offer. #TRLT

A5 #trlt It starts at home. I've given up driving my car for 4yrs and use public transport or walk instead.

replying to @JLipowski @JLipowski @ramblRramblR A5: It all comes down to respect: Respect the local people, traditions, environment, and businesses and remember that you are a guest wherever you go. Read as much as you can and learn how to make your trip an enriching experience for all. #TRLT

A5 Be respectful of the culture, even if you don't understand it. Don't take photos if you're told not to. Don't litter.

If a local person tells you not to do something, don't do it. The local people understand everything and know what they're doing, so don't interfere. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @ramblRramblR A5 Such an important question! I think it's about respecting the place, leaving it better than you found it, and remembering that people and/or animals need to live there full-time. It's not just for tourists. #TRLT

A5 I think it’s probably impossible to avoid completely but I always try to go off the tourist path, support local businesses and restaurants, and do as many staycations as possible. We have such beauty and cool experiences on our doorstep in Britain #TRLT

replying to @JLipowski @JLipowski @ramblRramblR A5 Don't be a jerk. Stay out of off-limits areas. Clean up after yourself. Spend a little money at local stores. Avoid super-popular destinations during the busy season. #travel #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel A5. Exactly this 👆🏽 #trlt

A5: To avoid endangering a destination, I learn about a culture and tread lightly, stay and shop local, bring a reusable water bottle, coffee mug and visit farmer's markets. Volunteering is also a wonderful way to connect with a community.

A5. I go nearly all in on local transit and walking, including transit options from airports, which are more & more common. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @ramblRramblR A5. Don't push your thoughts and style on local people. Embrace their culture, people, language and food. Try to promote the same. Don't exploit any situation. Be respectful. Dont litter the place you visit. It is someone's home, treat it as ur own. Live and love #trlt

A5: It’s about respect and knowledge. We would suggest hiring a local guide who is familiar with the site and it’s issues and will ensure that they are respected and adhered to. #TRLT

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @ramblRramblR A5: Shop local, leave only footprints, be respectful of the culture and customs, take the train instead of flying if possible, chose reputable tour operators, don't purchase souvenirs that could be damaging (tortoise shell, ivory, etc) #TRLT
