- space is fascinating
- what does “Earthside” really mean?

On this private adventure, you'll spend a week: 🛶 Drifting down rivers in a motorized canoe (what a unique way to #slowtravel!) 🍞 Visit local indigenous communities and even make casabe (cassava) bread with them. ⛺ Stay at campsites and lodges (built by the native Kichwa community) along the river banks. 🥾 Go on guided jungle hikes with a naturalist guide. 🐍 See native wildlife such as snakes, dolphins, parrots, giant spiders, and more.

🤔 Have you ever heard of "zero-dollar tourism"?

<img src="https://yugenearthside.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="🤔 Have you ever heard of "zero-dollar tourism"? 🤓 To be honest, this term is new to us, but we think it's super important to share now that we know. 💸 Zero-dollar tourism is an extreme example of "economic leakage" - which is where tourist money "leaks" out of the destination country to another (usually richer) country. 💶 Supporting the local economies is one of the 3 pillars of sustainable tourism (the other two being protecting the natural environment, and respecting the local cultures). 📝 Zero-dollar tourism is most commonly seen when travel agents sell cheap travel packages that require tourists to follow a set itinerary. These tourists are then frequently touted around to places with jacked up prices with connections back to the travel agent and/or the tourists' home country. 😔 Not only can this be a bad experience for travelers (who may be taken to places against their wishes, feel like they're getting ripped off, etc.), but it also isn't great for the destination country - which misses out on what those travelers might be spending. 🧐 Have you heard of this term before?
