Welcome to the Conscious Traveller!
Hello Conscious Travellers!
Thank you for following and joining the Conscious Traveller revolution.
This week we’ve outline what it means to be a conscious traveller — taking into account why we travel and how to ensure we have a positive impact on the culture, community and environment of the places we go. As world travel is set to boom over the next decade (1.8 billion people will travel internationally by 2030), our choices matter more than ever.
Food, Food, Food
The past few weeks have been all about food. We took a deep dive into the influence of Arabic culture on Mexican food (dating back to the conquistadors!), the rise of the luxury food hall and the prevalence of ethical restaurants in Cambodia. If you want to go back a little bit further, one of our most popular articles ever is on the amazing innovation of Korean Coffee Culture.
And elsewhere…
Our editor Jessica Toale has also written a number of articles you might find interesting for The Startup — Medium’s largest and most popular publication. In The Rise of the ‘Super App’ she looks at the phenomenal rise of technological innovations from emerging markets that are challenging Silicon Valley’s dominance. And in Instagram is Ruining Travel she looks at how social media is affecting our experience of travel.
Thanks again for following. We hope you like what we have coming up, and do send in any suggestion of what you’d like to see covered.
