YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Wanderlust Travel Magazine|October 2020
Spectacular scenery. Incredible wildlife. Crowd-free sites. But by visiting one of these five wish-list destinations on your next trip, you’d also be delivering help and hope where it’s needed the most
YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

It seems another lifetime ago, doesn’t it? When we lived for our next trip, planning routes, comparing flight prices, getting annoyed with booking apps, and then wondering where we’d last spotted our passports in the heady anticipation of airports and adventure? But while many of us can’t wait to get back on the road, there are plenty of destinations who have missed travellers too. Desperately, in fact.

Of course, anywhere reliant on tourism has suffered because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but some more so than others. These five places will not only welcome you when it’s safe to visit, but if you travel mindfully with a social conscience as well as an exploratory one, you can leave a positive impact on the communities who live there and the wildlife too – plus, without the crowds you’ll have an even more exceptional time. So if you’ve always fancied the Inca glories of Machu Picchu or Sri Lanka’s exceptional wildlife without hundreds of others, the next season could be your time.

1 Support porters plus go crowd-free in… Machu Picchu, Peru

The impact of COVID-19 in Peru has been monumental. In the absence of incoming travellers, many guides, porters, hotel staff and vendors have had to return to their family homes, reliant on subsistence farming and occasional work. Peru has been hard-hit with over half a million cases and over 26,000 deaths (at time of writing). As a result, lockdowns continue and international flights are temporarily suspended.
