When tourism accounts for one in 10 jobs worldwide, can a more "sustainable and responsible" way that benefits local communities be found?

> The [United Nations' World Tourism Organization] forecasts 1.8 billion trips by 2030, up from 1.2 billion in 2016. Add in the 5 billion domestic trips now, and that's a lot of tourists. Cheap airfare is helping to fuel the growth, along with massive growth in international travel from countries like China.

@daviding I've been on tours in poor countries, and you *need* sealed containers. Viet Nam throws 8 billion tetra packs a year into the river. So, the question is how do you travel without adding to the problem.
