Tourists Behaving Badly? | Casting Off Ep 029
Do sailing YouTubers need to think twice before filming the remote and secluded locations they visit and alerting the rest of the world to their existence? Is it ruining travel for the rest of us?
And what about local communities? Is it right to put a spotlight on undeveloped places around the world? Will it bring "the wrong kind of tourism"? Is it better to keep these places secret?
Why do influencers turn their backs on sunsets?
"I think it's called influencer tourism. It's happening all over the world where people are going to certain places just to be able to get that "cool" picture for their Instagram or show a video of how they got there." - homelesspics
We answer these questions and look further into the wonderful world of influencers who lie about what they find travelling and turn their backs on sunsets...
With heartfelt thanks to our supporters, followers and subscribers for their contributions, many of which chimed with our own experiences.
What do you want us to waffle on about next? 😀🤔
