    Responsible Travel - In This Economy!?

    Over the last few years, we’ve all noticed and felt the impact of growing inflation. During economic downturns, the tourism industry typically takes a hit. People are either nervous to spend money, or just don’t have the disposable income to put towards travel. In moments like these, budget travel is on everyone’s mind. But can we actually do that responsibly? Guest: Emma Cartwright is a travel blogger, podcaster, and influencer whose work is focused around educating tourists about sustainable tourism.  Links:  https://thattravel.co.uk/the-sustainable-travel-podcast/ https://thattravel.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/that_travel/?hl=en-gb https://skift.com/2025/01/03/how-does-the-economy-impact-travel/  If you're a fan of the show, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review Curious Tourism: Responsible Travel Podcast.

    Are Travel Influencer Media Trips Responsible?

    You probably follow a few travel content creators on social media, and every once in a while, you’ll likely notice that they share content from a trip that is a collaboration with a tourism board. These trips, which are typically called media trips, or press trips, are a common way for travel creators to make an income, and a tool to give creators and tourism boards a chance to share insights about a region. But not every press trip (and not every travel influencer) is made equal. Bri Mitchell joins the show to unpack the misconceptions around media trips, how they work, and why it's important to demystify them. Bri Mitchell is a travel writer and content creator from Toronto. She has a penchant for adventure, and covers everything from active travel to culinary, wellness and sustainable tourism stories based on her personal travels and destination partnerships. Bri shares her thoughts and travel stories in her weekly newsletter, The Weekly Traveller, on social media @brimitchelltravels, and on her websites travelingmitch.com, UltimateOntario.com and WeExploreCanada.com.

    Why is Last-Chance Tourism on the Rise?

    Over the last few decades, tourists have been going out of their way to see places before they disappear, from Antartica to Australia. This has been deemed "Last-chance tourism". We're diving into the phenomenon of last-chance tourism; how it started, why it's so appealing, and the ethical questions it raises. Paige McClanahan joins us on the show to discuss.
