What choices can the individual make as a tourist to travel more sustainably? Sandbox FOMO5 2, from Ep.10

Planning your next getaway? Before you book, take a moment to consider: how can you travel in a way that leaves a lighter footprint? 

In this week’s Sandbox FOMO5, taken from our episode ‘Sustainable Tourism: Travelling to a Greener Future’, our expert panel unpacks the small choices that make a big difference. From flights to food to where you stay, discover how to be a more conscious, responsible traveller—without sacrificing the joy of the journey. 

Joining our regular host Andy Duncan, were Buro Happold experts Graziano Di Gregorio, Associate Strategic Planner, and Gabriel Berti, Graduate Consultant. Our special guest in this episode was Lindsay Hawdon. Lindsay is a former Sunday Times and Telegraph travel columnist and a writer of fiction.   

In the FOMO5, our panel of experts explore:  

1. How, as visitors to places, we can all choose how we spend our time and money – whether it be buying from local artisans to visiting authentic attractions.   

2. Making the journey part of the experience: How can we actively choose alternatives to airplanes that could not only help the planet, but also enhance our travel experiences?  

3. Connecting with locals and sharing experiences: How engaging with residents can lead to unforgettable memories and a deeper understanding of the places we visit.
