Hangouts in 2015
related: hangouts, 2015 slideshare: [|google hangouts tips] youtube: [|hangouts]

Our video hangouts have a long history. In the past 20 years [|Planeta.com] has engaged in an active dialogue with leaders developing sustainable practices around the world. Today we continue face-to-face and virtual meetings focusing on conscious travel, responsible travel and ecotourism. Since our debut as a gopher site in 1994 Planeta has been an active hub connecting locals and visitors keen on culture and conservation, foreign language and foreign food, international sport and literature.

This page documents the video hangouts in 2015. This page includes the videos, summaries, shownotes and timestamps. While 2015 may have come and gone, this wiki page remains a work-in-progress.

In May Deborah McLaren of GetLocalFlavor.com (author, consultant, founder of numerous responsible tourism organizations and passionate localist) and I co-hosted an online conversation to bring together individual leaders, organizations and communities in the USA. This was part of something we called Responsible Local Travel in the USA.

February #rtweek15 Hangout
In February we launched a new series of conversations focusing on responsible travel with experts from Knysna, South Africa. This robust discussion with Greg Vogt, CEO of [|@knysnatourism] and Martin Hatchuel, publisher of [|@ThisTourismWeek] delves deep into a warts and all inspection. Comments are welcome on the [|Google+ Event Page] and the [|YouTube video].

Now that I have returned to the USA, I see the same old challenges here that I've seen abroad. There is a lack of communication and collaboration and I'd argue innovation in the descriptions of travel and tourism options.
 * Commentary by Ron**

That said, if you listen and look carefully, there are numerous options of responsible local travel. One of my personal goals in May is to create a list of 100 businesses, museums, restaurants and hotels that are at the very least likeable on Facebook.
