- shoo 10y agothat'd be great if it were true, but i'm skeptical. Even ignoring the CO2 produced by flying, what evidence is there that enviro-tourism itself reduces CO2 emissions?
- losteric 10y agoWell, the stats are true and available online. I admittedly lack evidence on the enviro-tourism aspect, but it seems logical that tourists from heavily industrialized 3rd world countries return with some desire to improve their home environment.
