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. Your comments are welcome and so are embeds, likes, hearts, clips and shares.

- Ron Mader (Las Vegas, 2016)

How do we engage new audiences? How do we bring in new history that we otherwise have not been addressing?
