Description

Overcrowding. Lengthy queues. Resentment from locals. Loss of authenticity. Disappointment. As tourists, how can we break this cycle and improve tourism for locals, their communities, their culture and environment - as well as for ourselves? By taking steps to "be invisible," of course!


Unbeknownst to most tourists, there is a hidden power within them. They just need to now how to find it. This handbook examines the lesser-known problems with overtourism, how they came to be and details practical solutions to help you unlock this power to use as a force for good. After all, our vacation destination is someone else's home, not just a pretty picture on social media.


Packed with everything you need to know to tailor your own invisibility cloak, in this handbook you'll learn how to: 


* Plan a stress-free trip every time & ways to reduce disappointment 

* Enjoy popular destinations without contributing to overcrowding 

* Feel fulfilled by personal, authentic encounters with locals whilst helping their businesses 

* Avoid pickpockets & scammers for a safe travel experience

* Preserve local cultures & identities instead of diluting them

* Protect attractions of significant cultural heritage & the natural environment.


With never-before shared anecdotes of Alyse's travels over 13 years interwoven throughout, the book is broken into four parts. In the final part, you'll discover exactly how to amplify the positive aspects of tourism before, during and even after a trip through a carefully crafted blueprint to benefit host communities as well as yourself. 


Go on, find out how to minimise your tourist footprint and maximise your travel experiences by "blending in!"
