“Good Tourism” news from the Americas

Here you will find news about The “Good Tour­ism” Blog’s Part­ners and friends in North Amer­ica, Cent­ral Amer­ica, and South Amer­ica — espe­cially their sus­tain­able tour­ism and/or respons­ible travel activ­it­ies — plus “Good news in tour­ism” and cov­er­age of travel & tour­ism industry events in the Amer­icas to which “GT” is invited or oth­er­wise involved. Ad hoc sponsored news posts are also very welcome.

Before Decem­ber 2019, “GT” would sum­mar­ise under-repor­ted news stor­ies or thought-pro­vok­ing fea­ture art­icles of North Amer­ic­an, Cent­ral Amer­ic­an, and/or South Amer­ic­an import­ance by non-industry media. The sources were well-attrib­uted and linked. Any con­tent repub­lished in full was avail­able rights-free for that pur­pose from the likes of The Con­ver­sa­tion or the Thom­son Reu­ters Found­a­tion.
