In our journey towards a more sustainable world, “impact travel” solutions can provide travellers with experiences that positively mark the destinations they visit.
However, there are a few considerations that are crucial to a major breakthrough in impact travel:
1. The paradox that “going mainstream” is not sustainable by its very nature (e.g. mass tourism)
2. Protecting the authentic essence and brand value of “impact travel” so it doesn’t become another marketing tagline
3. Moving beyond simple KPIs to ensure we make a measurable, positive change in the real lives of people
Do you think "impact travel" is feasible for the tourism industry to achieve at a wider scale? What other challenges does impact travel face to become a significant force and transform people's lives and society? Appreciate your feedback!

Hi! I'm looking for your picks for the best vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants that are high-end around the world. Think Michelin stars, AAA awards, etc. What have you got to share? :)
There are plenty of those in Taipei, as about 10-15% of Taiwan's population is vegetarian.
Please post some links!
I'll post Google Maps links as most of the websites are in Mandarin.

In Sydney, Australia, I'd recommend Bodhi Restaurant — they serve vegan yum cha, and is just a short stroll from the Royal Botanic Gardens.

What a great topic.
I am vegetarian, sometimes vegan, and I always use the Happy Cow website/app when I travel. It has all the best vegetarian and vegan restaurants around the world. I travelled to China with my vegan sister and we had no issues finding vegan restaurants and in fact, had some of the best vegan food we've ever had! Highly recommend
Hi Diana, your topic is very intriguing for me as I'm offering, among other experiences in Italy, the Italian food & wine, including vegan-friendly restaurants. Italy is a great destination now for vegans & vegetarians and has a lot of vegan & vegetarian restaurants. Their plus is the fact that they are mixing creatively the vegan & vegetarian ingredients with the Italian tasty cuisine. Let me know if you would like to go deeper, I might be of help :)
