So, I didn’t get dirty or suffer from sore muscles on this Tourism Cares Summit, but I was just as exhausted – and exhilarated --as I have been in other years. I was exhausted from learning so much more about the challenges we face to be sustainable in our businesses and our own lives and to be inclusive and respectful of the cultures we experience when we travel. I was reminded that I have to be better at researching the places I visit so that I can honor the people who live there, understand and respect the wildlife and nature that call us to visit there and the history that may, or may not be so pretty.
