Responsible, Local Travel in the USA is a roadmap, part of an ongoing conversation initiated by Deborah McLaren and myself with the participation of dozens of colleagues curious and passionate about engaging travel in communities around the country. Included are screenshots, original artwork and suggestions for participation. This is a veritable work-in-progress.
