https://theconversation.com/is-it-ethical-to-take-a-luxury-holiday-in-a-developing-country-80984 “many of those working in the tourism industry in the Maldives have to live away from home for months on end, separated from family and friends. They also often live in conditions far removed from the “luxury” experience of the tourist, work seven-day weeks and often go months without pay” . If you have the time to volunteer consider voluntourism instead. Contribute to under resourced communities in developing countries whilst paying your way- contribute your skills & expertise as well as your tourist $. #Tourism #Voluntourism #Sustainability #EthicalTourism #Ethics

@travelfish I know what that is like 😬 I try to find inspirational ppl to talk to them about different, more enabling, sustainable & ethical ways of doing things and case studies. Jeremy liyanage from Bridging Lanka & their organisation are stand outs 🤩🙏🥰 #CommunityDevelopment #Sustainabiliity #EcoTourism #Voluntourism #SriLanka #BridgingLanka

Today's class on #voluntourism and #ParachuteScience was really interesting and productive. I'm so sad my Corals Conservation and Colonialism class is basically over.
