Overtourism and How to Travel Wisely

a discussion with travel writer Chris Tharp
6

We like to travel and so do others, but significant problems emerge when we all decide we want to visit the same places. Stories on overtourism and the stresses it places on these desirable locales have been a constant in the summer news. We are joined by my friend and travel writer extraordinaire, Chris Tharp, to dig into this issue as well as discuss his list of 5 do’s and don’ts for the intrepid sojourner.

Here is a link to the excellent NYTimes article by Lisa Abend we reference in the conversation.

An of course be sure to check out Chris’s exceptional substack The World According to Tharp here.
