S6 Ep100: Should We Gatekeep the Outdoors?

Curious Tourism: Responsible Travel Podcast

Spending time outdoors is a big part of travel and tourism. But the outdoors are vulnerable, and it’s important that we all know how to enjoy them responsibly.
Erin chats with Taryn Eyton, a Leave No Trace Master Educator and a former member of the board of directors of Leave No Trace Canada, about what it actually means to "leave no trace". They also unpack gatekeeping the outdoors. Is it good to gatekeep? Is it bad? Let’s find out.
Erin and Kattie also have a fun discussion looking back on the wild ride that was Season 6, Taylor Swift's impact on tourism, and Erin's recent trip to British Columbia.
