Send us a textAs global travel rebounds to pre-pandemic levels with 1.4 billion international arrivals in early 2024, the environmental cost is increasingly apparent.

Join us as we examine global signals, like Spain's proposal to ban short domestic flights and the rise of tourism taxes around the world. We also explore how aligning incentives can promote sustainable behavior. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion on being responsible travelers and balancing exploration with respect for local communities and the environment.For the full transcript and references: Episode WebpageReferences available on the Episode Webpage New episodes every Thursday!
