The future of travel and our planet - The looming death of the holiday industry

"Do heatwaves, wildfires and travel costs signal the end of the holiday abroad? We have already entered the beginning of the age of non-tourism,” said Gössling, to an uneasy audience of travel agencies, car rental companies, cruise operators and hoteliers. Leading researcher forecasts ‘beginning of the age of non-tourism’ despite industry returning to pre-pandemic highs. Eighty years from now, I’m doubtful there will be much tourism left in the world.” "

Finally, someone - in this case Matthew Iglesias, has taken on the #TechBro “technology optimists” who naively believe that we can ‘tech’, ‘build’, and ‘birth’ out way out of our current problem spaces. They’re wrong and it’s rubbish of course. Impulsive, immature naïveté by folks who SHOULD know better. This kind of insane, happy optimism in the face of overpopulation, climate change, a falling birthrate, war and polarization is just arrogant folly. They argue all technology is inherently good, uh-huh. Here’s Iglesia’s worthy takedown https://www.slowboring.com?utm_source=navbar&utm_medium=web&r=3icfk #technolgy #TechnologyOptimism #TechOptimism #Naivete #SiliconValley
