A3: We love the legendary Dead Sea - such a beautiful, restorative place - but it's shrinking due to climate change. We need to remember how every single decision throughout our day can affect these far-away places. #TRLT

replying to @JLipowski @JLipowski A4: The very fact that it is less crowded. Sitting in stillness alone in a beautiful natural place is better than standing among thousands at a remarkably stunning natural place. With the kids, we'd also rather be able to do a deep dive into museums and such w/o crowds #trlt

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 A2: Before Italy became a unionized nation in 1861, there were thousands of dialects spoken in Italy. What we now know as Italian became the official language then, but only 2.5% of the population spoke that language. Today 31 languages in Italy are endangered #TRLT

replying to @tspadventure @tspadventure This is an excellent point. Speak to destinations in lesser visited places and the lack of transport options (in particular flights) is a huge disincentive for people to visit. #TRLT

A4: Overtourism is a serious issue in many places. Cultural tourism encourages me to explore less-visited destinations as opposed to well-visited ones; the positive economic and social impact and cultural heritage it can help preserve, facilitates harmony.
