Ethical tourism: two events to look out for There has been lots of stuff in the papers over the past few months about how we should travel more responsibly, so we thought you might like to hear about a couple of events coming up. First up, on Tuesday 6 December, seasoned explorers Benedict Allen and Jim McNeill will be speaking at the Royal Geographical Society in London. As well as their own personal achievements, they will discuss conservation issues and new priorities arising as tourists seek out ever more remote destinations for travel. Secondly, on 10-11 December, Tourism Concern will be hosting a free two-day workshop in London about responsible tourism, called "Avoid guilt trips: exploring the issues of exploring the world". The first day will ask the interesting question: are gap year volunteers the new face of colonialism? posted at 11:52 AM | Permalink 0 comments   Comments: GenerationWhy and Oxfam accept no responsibility for the content of comments in the Blog.
