Death to cruise ships ☠️

The 8 of global emissions value from the research paper referenced by the article calculates an almost comedic uncertainty of 7, meaning they estimate the global emissions from tourism can be as low as just 1

Your series are fantastic 🎉

As someone who travels a bit for wildlife, particularly ocean wildlife since I scuba dive, there are some things to look for when trying to determine sustainability br1 Certifications obviouslybr2 For any tours where you go in the water, the sustainable tours often mention sunscreen Whilst the impact of sunscreen on coral reefs has been largely exaggerated- the concentrations required for the damage observed in lab studies is unrealistic and increased ocean temps and pollution runoff from nearby factories and mining are much bigger issues - a lot of the more sustainable tours will mention it, and I think there are some cases where they prohibit sunscreen because of it being an irritant to the animals br3 They might mention using a boat without a propellerbr4 A main page on their website dedicated to sustainability or at minimum a section on their about page br5 Mention that the tour includes educational content and mention of conservation education Potentially partnerships with researchers brbrRed flags:br1 Guaranteed sightings It is fine if they can say there's a 90 chance of a sightings or similar but if they have a money back guarantee, especially for sharks, this may indicate that they provide food or chum the water This is not good as it may lead animals to associate boats with food --> increased shark attacks, increased risk of getting killed by commercial fishing vessels and shipping trawlers etc, or alter migration patternsbr2 The complete absence of the considerations above br3 If they encourage touching/ holding wild animals

Venice is actually working against overcrowding As of 2023 you will have to buy an entry ticket of aprox 5 Euros to enter Venice and they are limited daily tickets People staying in a hotel in venice are excluded, but there are already limited rooms to stay in😊

If and when I use airbnb, I try to choose simply a free room in an apartment that the renter is living in

Was the Grand Tour predominantly (if not exclusively) gone on by men though ? I've never seen or read anything about women going on their Grand TourbrIf I'm wrong I'll take any resource I can get to read more into it so don't hesitate to suggest any 😁

After working in a souvenir shop, I think they should be avoided entirely Even if you manage to find something handmade the artist gets very little of the money and the companies that run them are awful You can buy from an independent shop, directly from the artist, or even find something in a pawn or thrift shop

I felt like I had a fancy multi-course meal while watching this! I've learned so much I've heard about places banning visitors to protect it, and think it's great! I just wish they would do it before the damage occurs My parents just came back from a trip and gifted me with a few locally made items that I love because they are beautiful and support the community they visited

Wow!! Amazing video ❤

I come from a tourist town in the United States and we need people to visit us or our businesses die But we have the airbnb effect, it is so bad we had to have a town meeting about how the locals have no where to live that’s affordable (because people from rich cities keep buying the houses!) Still waiting to see what was done at the meeting

Thinking for European history, pilgrimages That included more common people and goes further back in time

FYI, it's pronounced sc-air-ce I'd love to know the impact of honey Thanks for the video :)
Comment from : Sophia Azevedo

Thank you very much for making this video! I really appreciate the research that you do for these videos and I'm absolutely loving this series Would love to see a part 2 😊🙏

Very interesting video x
Comment from : Alydia Fraser

Does doing little acts like picking up trash as you go about your rought have much of an impact? Do you have a video on the impact of picking up trash, because to me it kind of seems like we are "cleaning up" by shuving it in a pile under our bed or in our closet, though I understand how it protects wildlife and other species Great video! CARRY AROUND A REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLE, extra weight thus more resistance thus bigger muscles thus less plastic waste thus never parched!

great reporting and presentation! i just returned from a trip to a caribbean island (one that i return to every chance i get because i love so much) and my only negative takeaway, as always, is the welfare of dogs and cats 😢😢😢 💔
Comment from : Julia Houriet

Great video, girl! Always value your knowledge :)brI recently created one video specifically about over-tourism in Santorini, that covers most of the topics you mentioned particularly for that one island If you have time, it's on my channel

Hi Gittemary! How do you handle visiting small locations and finding vegan food? As a vegetarian, in my experience the smaller the place, the harder it is to find food with no meat or fish Whenever I travel to coastal locations here in Italy I find it difficult to find restaurants that offer one proper meal (by proper I mean not just a salad or bread) without fish or meat, unless it is pizza I visited Ireland recently and I basically lived out of potatoes and desserts for five days because that's what I found in pubs on the road It's fine to eat a bit trashy for few days, but not for longer vacations

I loved your note about golf courses being awful! Even before I was more aware about the resources they use, I wasn't a fan because in my home town, a golf course had taken up about half of the local common (a historical English thing, whereby a big piece of land was available for locals to use to graze animals etc, now mostly like a wild country park) If you've not already done so, a video about the impact of golf courses or other landscape-based sports - including things like grouse moors, ski resorts - would be great, because I think often people assume that they are not so bad because they appear to be "natural"
Comment from : Christopher Barrett

Bravo Gittemary!!! I was expecting this video and it was worth to wait! As a neighbour in an overcrowded airbnb neighbourhood I thank you and applause you Tourists queuing in a trendy cafetería while the next door there's this association gathering food donations for the needy people of the neighbourhood It just doesn't make any sense!

Make a staycation, try to find out about interesting things in your home area, including concerts with music from all around the world performed by people who live in your home region but maybe came from another country initially Try new food, learn something new about the history of your region or the nature close by

So tricky but would love a sustainability impact of the medical industry Its incredibly difficult though because how can you really tell someone keeping you alive and well takes too many resources?
Comment from : Rebecca

I do a lot of research before I travel and prefer to go during the off season just to avoid the crowds I love taking the train, exploring local charity shops, and eating local is my favorite I can eat fast food when I'm home I have tried different cuisines and things that I probably wouldn't ever get in the US I enjoy traveling to places that are off the beaten path #winning
Comment from : LilRed312 Benett

being from miami, we see tourism A LOT, and as locals, we're noticing a horrific spike in housing prices forcing so many people out and the more touristic areas becoming so commercialized we used to have such a nice and unique local culture but it's gotten to be so diluted in the last few years yet, here they love tourism because it's the pretty much what makes up our economy
Comment from : sophia lemus

I'm from Dubrovnik Other than thing that you mentioned, many local people moved out of the city so they can rent their houses and apartments or just because crowds are too much to handle We also have problem with sewage because there are too many hotels and that is polluting the Adriatc sea for which Croatia is very well known for It's sad to see how negatively tourism impacts nature and people too People are so exhausted through touristic season and don't have time to be with their families Also, tourist don't know how to behave, they mostly think that they are entitled to do anything because they are paying to stay in the city I hope that in the future we will see more restrictions for the better

Be a tourist in your home town/ local area! Get to know where you love from a different perspective and avoid travel emissions bc you're already very close

Leave shells, stones, starfish in the ocean

Lots of great tips, thanks Gittemary!brbrBeing in Berlin I feel the pain of the dwindling sunlight I think your background would look extra fab with some warm lights in the background when you have to use your ring light brbrLove the impact series Thanks again!
Comment from : Coco Shin

Hi Gittemary! I love your impact series Could you possibly do an impact video on perfumes? I love perfumes but I recently realised that perfumes might not be the best for the planet However I hardly see anyone talking about its environmental impact If I have a better idea of what the environmental impact of fragrances are, I will be able to use perfumes more sensibly! (Or not use at all) xx

I’m wondering if you could do the impact of cannabis! I live in Canada where it’s legal and I was curious about how it effects the environment!
Comment from : Calvin Somerville - Witch

Thanks for another really informative video A lot of what you said does seem obvious but only when you actually bring attention to it so it's really important that you did! Much love as always xx
Comment from : Carley Jackson

As someone who is passionate about travel and truly feels like it has helped me to grow as an individual, I really appreciate this video and all these tips! I definitely already do many of these things (the good ones) and am always open to learning and trying more tactics for making my trips more sustainable! 💚
Comment from : Amber Eller

I visited Venice between two cough lockdowns and it was incredible: no tourists, empty waters and I could even jog in the city center 😍 It was surprisingly accessible by train since the city center is car free anyway!

Thank you for sharing these insights :)
Comment from : Ahmed SAMI

I love this video! Sadly a lot of vegan restaurants (not all) are actually just super trendy Instagram bait locations and not based on our regional cuisine here in Portugal at all So I would say if you come to Lisbon please eat at a local tasca instead of running around town looking for a trendy vegan restaurant that is probably using avocados shipped from Mexico You can probably find a lovely veggie soup and bread at any tasca I really appreciated your tips and ideas here!
Comment from : Chelsea Fuss

Just because local guides know the environment better, doesn't necessarily mean that their guiding you preserves nature better These people, often, are also stuck in a system that in and of itself destroys nature by generating revenue through it But I guess it's sometimes hard to tell whether a tour truly is sustainable
Comment from : Hans von Lobster

I love travelling I grew up going to Europe and the Middle East, and the Caribbeans/Central America I want to visit every possible country I would love to explore Asia But when I travel, I make sure I keep my good habits and make sure to buy local stuff I don't plan on stopping to explore the world But I want to do it sustainably 🌏🌎🌍
Comment from : Kalypso deepsea98

Another fantastic video Gittemary Why only go to somewhere that you have been already? You would be missing out on other places and it wouldn't be as interesting as going to a variety of places Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Gittemary
Comment from : Davids Vegan Life

I haven’t traveled since the pandemic but Hope that all those little shops in the airport sell more sustainable options I never saw anything but single use plastic wrapped snacks/ toiletries
Comment from : shauna burton

In my family we used to do "house exchanges" with families abroad It requires no additional cost, resources, infrastructure/services, meant we could exchange with them info about local activities and public transport, interact with the neighbors, know our home is in good hands when we're away and it anchored us in a place, meaning we were taking our time to deeply explore the area instead of jumping around And the generosity and mutual trust aspect of this really warms your heart

Dont buy seashells,dead starfish and dead seahorses!!! And dont dump fast food packaging any old where Use the bins Unless you want a rat climbing up your leg
Comment from : P Heart

So happy you included Dubrovnik! 🇭🇷❤️ :) But its not just Dubrovnik, its almost every bigger city on the Croatian coast and it gets so crowded in those small narrow streets
Comment from : Doris Delonga

I haven't had a vacation in so long so doing my part but not by choice hahahaha
Comment from : K*fierce Scene

But aren’t normal planes technically a kind of public transportation? Of course for short travels they aren’t a necessity at all and I do avoid them, but for longer travels they are actually necessary

While watching this video I got a flash sale notification from easyjet and an ad for holidays in Dubai

I wish I could give more! 👍👍👍👍👍😊

1st one :) When I travel I like to stay with locals via couchsurfing and the websites TrustRoots and BeWelcome There are also hidden gems in cities which are sometimes not listed in the usual travel guide, the website where all these gems can be found is Atlas Obscura I'm not someone who likes to cover all the touristy things or goes through souvenir shops I prefer to walk around flea markets or charity shops in other cities/countries and would get a small item from there to remember my trips Next year I would love to start with Trusted Housesitting and use that for accommodation and most importantly be around the hosts' animals like cats, dogs, sheep or whatever :)
