“Good Tourism” news & events

Enjoy “GT’s” monthly “Good news in tour­ism” posts, which sum­mar­ise a month’s worth of “GT” Insights, “GT” Travel, “GT” Part­ner news, and your comments.

Also find here Partner/Sponsor mes­sages from The “Good Tour­ism” Blo­g’s Part­ners and friends plus cov­er­age of travel & tour­ism industry events to which “GT” is invited or oth­er­wise involved. Ad hoc sponsored news posts are also very welcome.

“GT” retired its weekly “Good news in tour­ism” posts in April 2021. The weekly posts fea­tured brief sum­mar­ies of and links to pos­it­ive industry news from off-piste sources. Before Decem­ber 2019, “GT” would sum­mar­ise under-repor­ted news stor­ies or thought-pro­vok­ing fea­ture art­icles by non-industry media. The sources were well-attrib­uted and linked. Any con­tent “GT” repub­lished in full was avail­able for that pur­pose from the likes of The Con­ver­sa­tion and Thom­son Reu­ters Found­a­tion.

War in Ukraine and the real ‘ethical tourism’

March 12, 2022

What does war in Ukraine mean (if anything) for the concept of ethical tourism?

The travel & tour­ism industry can do plenty to sup­port the people of Ukraine in their fight for free­dom, such as lever­age its com­mu­nic­a­tions and pay­ments chan­nels.  That would rep­res­ent a truly ‘eth­ic­al tour­ism’, accord­ing to Jim Butcher. It’s a “Good Tour­ism” Insight. [You too can write a “GT” Insight.] I’ve nev­er been a fan of […]
