I sincerely appreciate your comment about traveling with a smaller impact or footprint. It's been on my mind a great deal lately as I plan future trips, from the impact on climate change of my plane trip, to the influence tourism has on the communities I visit. It's be great for Lonely Planet to do more education to travelers about how we can reduce our impacts, though your own site and through other media outlets. Thanks!

Summing up, Bernard Donoghue MTS said, Looking at tourism in England and how it is funded is a timely debate and we are delighted to have facilitated it for The Tourism Society. It is clear that we all - private and public organisations, large and small - have our parts to play in its future.
