National Geographic’s “Travelers of the Year”

Posted on February 16, 2024February 16, 2024

National Geographic has selected is “2024 Travelers of the Year“

  • A drag queen
  • Hispanic woman who runs a tour business in Mexico
  • One legged athlete and disability access advocate, a guy in Montana
  • A grandmother who runs Pasta Grannies, a Youtube channel preserving “the tradition of handmade Italian pasta and home cooking”.
  • Family in Ghana, Africa (originally from Miami) that runs a tour business helping adults of African descent to trace their family history.
  • A woman who is a “sustainability supporter” who is famous for posting carbon guilt information on her global trips. (Note – National Geographic runs a fleet of ocean going ships and aircraft for global tours).
  • A “unhoused” (formerly known as “homeless”) advocate who trains those to be walking tour guides in their cities.
  • Founder of luxury travel resorts, he’s Hispanic from Columbia (the country), with an MBA from Harvard.
  • Dolly Parton

Natalie Schoenmaker or Prof. Mark Wolters didn’t make the cut. Wonder why…

Previous:

  • National Geographic spent decades as a racist reporter of life – and that is their own conclusion – Coldstreams Travel and Global Thinking. As I explain there, based on NGS’s admitted history of falsification over decades, they can no longer be trusted as a source of information on anything.
