replying to @DoroLef @DoroLef @TravelDudes I think many of us run the gamut of emotions more often than we'd like to experience on a weekly (or daily) basis. #TTOT

replying to @hendrikmorkel
@hendrikmorkel Yes, and on the other side it also brings a lot of business in less traveled regions. The question is how they manage it.
And I prefer to have lots of tourism (well managed!), instead of closed borders and even more narrow minded people. #ttot

A4 The danger of tick marks. Such a pity. Perhaps Petra can implement some policies to control the purpose & length of time for a visit (like Bhutan requires a monetary upfront payment to even get into the country) Not that short-term visitors should be punished w/ price #TTOT https://t.co/JX4FrWqAv2

replying to @PureTraveller @PureTraveller @UNESCO I love that idea. It would be even easier if people would simply not use plastic anymore. Options are available. Why do we always need rules and restrictions? The last was a purely rhetorical question. #TTOT

A4. World heritage sites can be the focal points to spread the word on conservation, culture, heritage and be a change leader in the world.

@hendrikmorkel hahaha. Yes, that was quite a decision. I wonder if this turned out negatively in the tourism numbers.
It nearly happened to Cologne as well, where they wanted to built more high buildings, destroying the view onto the cathedral. They decided against it. #ttot

A3 Yes, not mentioning any names, of course, but enormous areas that were protected in the US had been put up for bid of industrial projects. 😥#TTOT https://t.co/2Uuban5bd4

replying to @mrmaluleka_T @mrmaluleka_T I agree, as long it's well managed and that tourism is not part of destroying it. #ttot

replying to @mrmaluleka_T @mrmaluleka_T We as tourists need to respect places we visit. #TTOT

A5 I was late for #ttot 😢, but would love to see the Great Blue Hole, #Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System and a World Heritage Site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization #Unesco

A4 Learning is the satisfaction of innate curiosity. Perhaps we should start there for education rather than imposing. Clearly fewer people these last years are looking at history at least in my country. It really makes me wonder what's taught in school these days. #TTOT https://t.co/OKSB2VoqeJ

replying to @digitalGeek_au @digitalGeek_au Each to their own though. I agree. I loved Essaouria, only been for one week though. Cute little town, and so much to see. #TTOT How did you like it?

A5: I have some travel quests, but have never built one around World Heritage Sites. So, I don't have a must-see site on my bucket list. #TTOT

@DoroLef @StevenOnTheMove Same here. It's such a surreal time and world. I won't put all my hope on a vaccine. And then I'll be very happy if it comes onto the market and got a huge positive effect.
I just hope that it will be shared everywhere in the world. #ttot

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife It seems as if there are two groups of people in this world. The curious ones and the not so curious ones. #TTOT

A4 These are certainly excellent consequences and should be emphasised as economy is a necessary aspect of society. Receiving this #UNESCO listing also generates pride & perhaps accomplishment which will help to maintain those positive aspects of the destination & culture #TTOT https://t.co/JFSejei9nn

@TravelDudes A5. Everything on this list: https://t.co/1c8AhY4LLG 😆
I also would like to go back to #Meteora in #Greece, which has been gorgeous! I'd like to spend more time climbing and hiking there, and Greek Vegetarian food is 🔥⭐️👍

A5. I still have a list of them. On the top of my list would be Yosemite National Park, it has always been a dream destination since I started learning photography as a kid!

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes @StevenOnTheMove I read somewhere about it and how it is going to be distributed to developing nations also. Somewhere reputable, as in NY Times, Guardian, SZ. Can't remember where. #TTOT

A5: The rest of the Kluane/Wrangell-St. Elias (see you there @hendrikmorkel!)/Glacier Bay/Tatshenshini-Alsek WHS (see A1). No pics for 3 out of 4 parks yet, so these are more from @GlacierBayNPS.

replying to @PureTraveller @PureTraveller @hendrikmorkel @GlacierBayNPS This looks magnificent #TTOT

Yes. We have seen great destruction in the name of many issues. Incredibly sad for all humanity. We must teach at least, to all peoples, that respect for our past must be maintained universally thus a mission of @UNESCO #TTOT https://t.co/TPW2DPQhKu

replying to @aTravelCompanio @aTravelCompanio It looks awesome. but also cold and slippery. 😉 #ttot

replying to @PureTraveller @PureTraveller That could certainly be possible. I think also travellers are firstly attracted to things that are familiar (those answers on my art history exam 🙃) and then they may want to expand after experiencing the major places in their minds - however it got there. Corralling #TTOT

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes A5 #TTOT Machu Picchu is up there. I want to feel and understand the settlement of the complex in such a place.
