An Italian holiday may be a priceless experience for those who have enjoyed all this country has to offer. But the summer of 2023 will go down as one of the priciest in history after a slew of price gouging scandals at cafes and restaurants that have affected foreign tourists and Italians alike.
Tourism is cancer…
What is over lap between people bitching about climate change and going to 2 annual vacations with air travel?
Because we learned during covid that the airlines literally flew planes empty because “ThEy HaVe To”
If that means I get to travel to a remote corner of Peru to climb some mountains, imma do it.
You got downvoted but it is a fair question. I hope sustainability is started to be talked about more in the travel sector
They got downvoted because “tourism is cancer” is a dumb short sighted statement. No one is expected to stay in their little town and never visit anywhere else. It’s nice to travel and experience the culture of other nations and towns and to know that there are other people besides the ones you interact with in your little bubble.
Billionaires are out here flying around to avoid traffic (ie Elon Musk) and people are out here shitting on me for my 1 trip a year to visit my family
If y’all wanna buy me a house out there and pay my moving costs so I don’t have to fly anymore to see them then I welcome the opportunity
