We are excited to announce our first event, a meet and greet with the local community in Dominical, Costa Rica! This is our opportunity to introduce our organization, and find out what projects the community feels would be most beneficial for them. #regenerativetourism

REAL Tourism Development is looking for a knowledgeable and motivated individual to help our startup nonprofit organization build an amazing program as our Board of Directors Treasurer. This is a volunteer position. bit.ly/3fhLD7p

I am excited for the upcoming projects REAL Tourism has planned to serve locals that are missing out on the benefits of the tourism that is already in their communities. Please check out real-tourism.org and consider supporting their cause! #GivingTuesday

Loved the beautiful street art in Bahia de los Angeles. Such a nice surprise while exploring Baja California. #StreetArt #BajaCalifornia #travel #roadtrip #Wanderlust

@emilyseyesexplo Here's an interesting alternative if you're up for glamping? featherdown.co.uk

I want to get away this summer... can anyone link me to the best road trips around the UK for a solo traveller? Think I'd be driving and want a mix of unique places to stay - think nature, woodland, yurts? - and of course hikes. #travel #ukroadtrip

Some fun local road trips for fellow Californians. #travellocal until we're ready to safely travel abroad.

@ctimmerman17 @KomputerKoder @desertedpix Exactly. Nuclear power is both safe and green until that very rare incident whereas coal is neither safe or green at ANY point. More people die from black lung each year than all direct nuclear energy deaths ever worldwide!

@KomputerKoder @desertedpix Ironic as coal plants emit more radioactive waste than fission plants. In fact their waste contains more energy than was gained by burning it. gist.github.com/CTimmerman/c41…

This is from 2018, and many changes have been made to fight #overtourism in these areas since its release, but the sentiments of the locals still hold true and are a powerful reminder that tourism must build back sustainably. #futureoftourism youtube.com/watch?v=U-52L7…

From a touching depiction of the story that is true for so many countries suffering from the loss of #tourism, to the downfalls of #overtourism, to an uplifting example of seizing the opportunity to work on reversing the damage from tourism. youtu.be/lF3mnuxjPCw

Mask hating Gringos in OAXACA, you are pissing the locals off. Its not if u agree with them or not - you are in someone elses country! washingtonpost.com/travel/2021/02…

@NomadicBackpac1 @BackpackerItaly I was there in December and the night curfew was no driving after 10pm on weekdays and 9pm on weekends. You can be out and walk or take a yellow taxi though (no Uber!). I looked to see if this changed and one source said it was the same but another said it is 11pm everyday?

@BackpackerItaly Did u fly from Mexico to Costa Rica? What r covid rules for entry? And how is life there? Curfew etc ?

Made it to Costa Rica ✌️

A must read! “The majority of the work that we’ve been doing with communities has been about enabling them to see who they want to be when this comes out and when travel starts up again." Jamie Sweeney - Planeterra

The newest trend in sustainable tourism is growing. Sustaining a destination is good, but improving it is better! #regenerativetravel #regenerativetourism #travelwithpurpose What is Regenerative Travel? ecotourism-world.com/what-is-regene…

Tourism desperately wants a return to the 'old normal' but that would be a disaster theconversation.com/tourism-desper… via @ConversationEDU

Staying at a locally owned accommodation is the most meaningful way to support the local community, but a (truly) sustainable hotel is the next best option. #realtraveltip #sustainabletourism #sustainabletravel lonelyplanet.com/articles/how-t…

@divergenttravel @VISITFLORIDA This is gorgeous footage. I had a curious baby manatee following me around very closely while snorkeling once many years ago and it is still one of my most memorable moments.

Amazing moment with Florida’s wildlife ❤️ We had our first magical moment on our #Florida #roadtrip this morning. We pulled up to Gilhurst Blue State Park to have it all to ourselves besides one manatee in it’s natural habitat. #LoveFL #FLStateParks @VISITFLORIDA
