Responsible Local Travel in the USA #localtravelusa

Starting in May Planeta.com and GetLocalFlavor.com host a national conversation taking inventory of where the USA stands in terms of responsible travel / Indigenous tourism / ecotourism / agritourism / sustainable travel and what we would like to see improve in 2015. These lively discussions explore examples of corporate, social and environmental responsibility within the US travel sector. To us, this means bringing together innovative people with localist values who are naturally creating a better world. Ron Mader of Planeta.com (celebrating an incredible 20 years on the world wide web) and tourism activist Deborah McLaren of GetLocalFlavor.com (author, consultant, founder of numerous responsible tourism organizations and passionate localist) will co-host a series of live hangouts to bring together individual leaders, organizations and communities in the USA.
