Well, refuse “mass tourism” per se. Carefully choose a destination, make it the beginning of a thought journey more than a physical one. Spend months, if not years planning and learning about where I’m planning to visit. That’s what travel used to be anyway before it became massified. If I need to just chill off a beach I’ll choose a destination that’s much closer and at least in the same continent (eg Greece instead of Mexico.) I can’t stop breathing (well, not without dire consequences) but I can surely take every breath conscientiously.
