Tourism plays a massive part in the economy of the #LakeDistrict. But what’s the real cost of having so many of visitors in terms of impact on traffic congestion, sewage, litter and the availability of homes for local people? We commissioned sustainable #tourism specialist Dr Davina Stanford to produce the report Who Pays for the Lake District? looking at where tourism is having a negative impact on the Lake District National Park’s landscape, environment and communities, and how different tourist destinations across Europe deal with similar issues. The report also examines the ways that local authorities could raise money connected to tourism to make a positive difference to area.

National Parks bring huge benefits in terms of health and wellbeing, and billions of pounds and thousands of jobs to support rural economies. But with severe budget cuts they're being pushed to breaking point. The new Friends of the Lake District report shows how innovative solutions AND proper government funding can make tourism a force for good. Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eGHG2QzB

Huge shoutout to the companies who stopped promoting civet coffee tourism, like Airbnb, Tripadvisor and Booking.com 👏 Civet welfare cannot be met in civet coffee farms or tourist attractions. Tourists are frequently mislead by marketing which hides the true cost of civet coffee tourism to animal welfare, conservation, and human health. A report lead by The Civet Project Foundation has resulted in leading tourism operators withdrawing the sale of civet coffee experiences from their platforms! Ecoflix is currently showing ‘Civet Coffee: From Rare to Reckless’ to raise awareness in partnership with The Civet Project which you can watch here https://lnkd.in/ew-gGrhq. Ecoflix is the world’s first non-profit streaming platform dedicated to saving animals and the planet. 100% of subscriptions goes direct to helping over 60 NGOS (and counting) in their efforts to save animals and the planet.

#FridayQuote #Travelquote #lifequote “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Mangrove forests play an important role in coastal environments acting as a natural barrier against rising tides and storm surges, and providing a natural solution to reducing carbon in the atmosphere. Although mangrove forests cover just 0.1% of the planets surface, they store up to 10 times more carbon per hectare than other terrestrial forests. Consider joining us for a new opportunity in the Osa Peninsula planting Mangrove Trees as part of our Blue Carbon Initiative. This project, with a planting season that runs annually from the end of May through the end of October, allows transient yachts and crew to donate and participate toward this work in Costa Rica’s crown jewel of biodiversity. Just 1,800 square kilometers, the Osa Peninsula is home to approximately half of the country’s 500,000 species.
