• Is volontourism the best way to gain experience in the sector?
• Is is possible to follow my passion for ethical travelling and make a living?
• Can we still be positive about tourism in the face of Covid?
• I am already working in the tourism industry but I want to make more of a positive contribution - how can I go about it?
