The episode advocates for small group tours and the use of local guides as a sustainable travel practice. This approach ensures that tourist dollars directly benefit local communities, support skilled professionals, and provide travelers with a more authentic and enriching experience.
“So if the demand is there for more small group experiences, they will provide them. So I think for people listening, you know, maybe my tour is why I'm only doing a handful of tour so I can't retake that many people. But just looking for small group opportunities of things that are of interest to you, that's the answer right there.”
“It's so it's totally sustainable. And then you find that all the guides that you're working with are local guides and they've worked hard to get their guide licenses, and those dollars that you are paying them are actually going right down into their local community.”
