About
Elizabeth and Kimberly founded Go Green Travel Green for eco-conscious travelers who want to reduce their environmental impact, but not miss out on new cultures, destinations, and foods.
Ketchikan was such a tourist trap of a town.
How do you feel about green tours (ie the whole eco tourism wave)?
@Matt- I think the eco-tourism wave is a good thing; if people are doing their research and finding sustainable tours and not just tours that are greenwashing their tours. However, because more people are interested govts have to be careful and cap the number of visitors into their parks.
I lived above that post office (there are apartments up there). and let me tell you from first hand, experience: Ketchikan sucks. it really sucks. it is a miserable stinking drunk tank filled with shattered hopes and dreams and a marked distaste for tourists. Tourists are tolerated because if they werent there, the town would just die.
