The consensus on the question I posted before seems to be that it's okay to encourage travel, but that we need to encourage traveling BETTER, whether that means encouraging choosing trains over planes, taking longer trips, seeing things in a different way, etc.
My question now is HOW? How do I as a content creator do that? I mean, just lecturing people about sustainability or whatever isn't going to help. I'd love some PRACTICAL ideas on how to encourage better travel.
So far I'm trying - not always succeeding - to avoid writing about the places that are very popular and instead focusing on lesser-traveled places. I'm avoiding big general listicles and instead trying to write about much narrower topics. As much as possible, I'm traveling by train or bus rather than plane and that'll come through when I write about a place. Any other suggestions?

Where can one search for internship opportunities?
Good question, interested to know too.
Hi Ntosh, this would be a good space and place to start creating a list and or way to have access to details about businesses within the Travel Massive Cape Town community to share whether they are taking interns etc.
I actually had a request from CPUT (Cape Peninsula University of Technology) for intern placements.
We also share this with the students that have tourism as a subject on senior school level in our panel discussions.
So I would like to request Cape Town & Western Cape members to send me details of whether they are doing intern placements and how we can collaborate on this. If you do not have my email address send me a DM on here.
I'm a 3rd year student, doing Tourism management at Cput. May I ask is there any company's you know that offers internships?
Found it yet? Looking for internships is such a struggle
Have not found one, it's stressful and definitely a struggle.
Google is your friend. Here is a list I found for South Africa bursaries-southafrica.co.za/travel-tourism-internships/
