As much as I believe that travel makes the world a better place, I often think about the negative impact that tourism can play on the places we visit. I could write a whole series of posts about why I think travel makes the world a better place, but part of it has to do with experiencing other cultures, meeting people that are different from us, seeing how they live in the world, and ideally concluding that their way of living is just as much the “right way” as ours is. But if travel involves going to an American or Canadian owned island resort, sitting on the beach and ordering Piña Colada’s from the underpaid staff, we’re probably not going to get that “better world” experience.
