A5: While this may be true, it's a narrow view of things. Any such recovery has been spotty, uneven & unsupported. And will be sadly fleeting. It's too tight a lens to ask how we can protect nature as travel resumes. The solutions have to be holistic. (1/2) #TheNewTravel

A5: Along those lines, I would love to see more government policy that recognizes healthy nature as a protected right and legislates with that in mind. Responsible media could highlight and champion this too. (2/2) #TheNewTravel

So true. Diversification of revenue streams = critical! #TheNewTravel x.com/costaribbean/s…

A6: 10 years ago, I helped launch @locatravels (now defunct) to recognize and advance concerns just like this. The actions we encouraged were as practical then as they are today: (1/2) #TheNewTravel

A6: #localtravelvalues (1) Connect with locals before, during & after a trip. (2) Travel in a manner that is sensitive to the local environment. (3) Respect local heritage and culture. (4) Spend your money locally at locally owned businesses. #TheNewTravel (2/2)

So so so agree with this! #TheNewTravel

Kinda hard to believe after beating the drum for so long. But it's a drum that must be heard! #TheNewTravel

It's the story or "urban renewal" everywhere. Locals make progress creating enough of a sense of community to attract commercial interests. Then the locals are pushed out. Sigh. #TheNewTravel

A7: Anywhere with uncrowded, accessible natural areas within easy reach of home by foot, bike or train. Don't discount an overnight too. It's everything far-flung places could offer, but smarter and more responsible. #microadventures #TheNewTravel

Ethan Gelber This summer was the perfect time to check out our local footprints. #thenewtravel

So sorry to hear it. (But lovely to find you here. Hello!!!)

Although, on several occasions, I even tried not to make those! #TheNewTravel

Lonely Planet Wherever you can get to in continental Europe by train. Awesome, fast, green, and endlessly varied. Just watch for differing C-19 restrictions. #TheNewTravel

A8: Brands should be leading the charge in sustainable travel, esp since governments are too slow and a few too many consumers too hungry (for travel). Check out this article (not mine, but one I agree with from Lonely Planet): lonelyplanet.com/articles/how-t… #TheNewTravel

A8: I would also love to see more brands sign on to the #FutureofTourism and adhere to its comprehensive guiding principles: futureoftourism.org/guiding-princi… #TheNewTravel

A8: I'll be covering a lot of this soon when I speak at the Society of American Travel Writers Virtual Convention [register here: satw.org/2020-virtual-c…]. See tweet below. #SATW2020 #TheNewTravel

How could anyone -- this crowd especially -- NOT agree with this?! Seriously, though: YES YES YES! #TheNewTravel

@joanna_haugen Stop commodifying travel, period! #TheNewTravel

Turning from interior BK onto the waterfront was like stepping into a different and more temperate biome. Worth every turn of the pedal with Keir Dougall.
