A1. What you pack in, you pack out! That’s a mantra you’ll hear throughout @AlaskaNPS in an effort to share eco-friendly adventure travel practices with all visitors. #TWchats

A2: Quite a few tour operators are getting creative with ways to bring people to popular places in different ways and during off-peak times to avoid the crush: https://t.co/KgCzd33VDl #Twchats @emma_enroute @AKTravel_USA @Intrepid_Travel

A1: .@attaStowell shared three excellent questions in his @TEDx talk that you can ask a lodge or tour operator when considering booking: 1 of 3) What investments have you made to be environmentally responsible? #TWChats #Sustainabletravel https://t.co/oaLgGS6I6s

Seek alternatives to the destinations that are already reeling from overtourism. Senior Editor @meeshull offered some fantastic alternatives in this story, such as Cartagena, Colombia; Granada, Nicaragua; and Hamburg, Germany. Have you visited any of them before? #TWchats

@TWtravelnews @TravelAgeWest A1 - We support the Alaska Conservation Foundation, American Himalayan Foundation, & The Galapagos Conservancy, to name a few.
Classic pack it in, pack it out and a daily disciplined/mindful approach to leaving no trace while we are out in the field also come to mind!

A1: One of our best practices for sustainable adventure travel is offering a variety of shore excursions for our guests to experience with our "You Care. We Care." Crystal Voluntourism Adventures. #TWChats @TravelAgeWest @TWtravelnews


A2: Joining our #Mekong River itineraries to less visited ports such as Cai Be and Tan Chau in #Vietnam gives you a slice of life you wouldn’t normally see and supports the local economy. #TWChats


A2: @emma_enroute Go off the beaten path on one of our EXC In-Depth Voyages! At Dravuni Island, Fiji, guests can embark on a Zodiac tour led by onboard experts & local guides for an immersive experience into lands & cultures few are lucky enough to encounter! #TWChats


Q2: Avoid contributing to #overtourism by making time to spread your vacation out across less popular destinations or consider going in the shoulder seasons. You can explore alternative forms of transportation to the popular spot, too #TWChats #overtourism https://t.co/sFROoipoff

A2: @emma_enroute, the beauty of a #cruise is that they are designed to explore lesser-visited ports and more intimate destinations, in addition to popular cities. #TWChats


A2: @emma_enroute Head to high-traffic regions in the off-season! With Costa's year-round cruises to the #Mediterranean, guests can beat the crowds during the fall and spring to see cosmopolitan cities and ancient sites: https://t.co/SiYOlnFHun! #TWchats

Q2: How can you avoid contributing to challenges such as overtourism? #TWChats @emma_enroute
A2: If you are looking at a specific destination, think about traveling during the off season or spending time in lesser know cities. You never know what you will discover!

A2. Research, research, research! Find those hidden gems around the area that tourists aren't familiar with...yet. #TWChats

replying to @ChristinaTurr @ChristinaTurr Those are the best. I'm pretty sure there's some magic involved, not just science. #TWchats

A2: You can help alleviate #overtourism by supporting government initiatives that limit tourism numbers or close off certain areas for rehabilitation (like what happened recently with #Boracay)! #TWChats

Exactly! We love that #rivercruises take guests to the city-centers and make it easy to explore small and less tourist destinations! #TWChats https://t.co/FGLdueIGZ5
