💚My second internship will be with Slow & Co on Tenerife - an island we adore and have spent many months and season on. I'm looking forward learning from Kim De Coster - THE sustainability connector, project & event manager in the islas and beyond!
🤩Thrilled to uncover more of those hidden gems the Island(s) seemingly give endlessly. Especially evolving and shining a light on all these amazing local initiatives; those passionate individuals fighting to make a difference. Visionaries who create a better future today.
📢 There have been many protests against tourism this past summer and understandingly so. You can actually love a destination to death. Which is exactly why a collaborative intervention is needed in my opinion. Tourism can make or break a place and its people. Which is why a greater, holistic vision and approach is needed for all destinations.
🤝 This requires all stakeholders coming together and follow up big words with action - governments, DMOs, DMCs, local and foreign businesses. Travelers too need to be educated and inspired to better choices.
❓If we love a place because of it's beauty and cultural uniqueness, how do we plan to preserve and honor it, is a question we should all ask ourselves. A question we should be asked along the way from researching for a trip to stepping a foot onto foreign lands.
