Reading about and discussing the following ideas:

 

Being a tourist is easy, but tourism is complex

Q. is it still the fastest growing industry today?

Q. Who should it benefit? And who does?

Debunking/deflating: Leakage

People are central

Tourism will not change if the tourist does not

The onus on every tourist - think beyond ourselves

Tourism should benefit & not exploit, in a process of democratization that makes tourism development inclusive and consultative

Checking some definitions in the GLOSSARY OF TOURISM TERMS and the UNWTO page concerning the Tourism day 2020.
