Last week, Inverse Daily wanted to hear your thoughts on respectful tourism. Bob R. remembers being a tourist in pristine Antarctica, passing through on a ship with “no food, paper or anything that could blow overboard was permitted on deck.” To that point, Catherine G. recommends tourists “respect the place, leave it as you found it,” and Robert A., who grew up in Ohio’s Rust Belt, recommends future visitors “hang your hat over your heart out of respect, and shed a few tears for what once was.”
