Mapping Ecotourism in NYC
My project maps ecotourism in New York City. Urban ecotourism presents a new, more sustainable angle on environmentally-conscious travel and recreation. The map will inform travel decisions and encourage people to reduce their carbon footprint, regenerate nature, and elevate local communities.
Student Researcher, Columbia University
My Laidlaw experience focuses on reframing the tourism industry to center the environment. In my first year, I developed a map of NYC's ecotourism, focused on environmental justice, circularity, and emissions reduction. In my second year in Santiago, Chile, I have collaborated with FEDETUR, the federation of tourism enterprises of Chile, to develop materials for tourism businesses to reduce their carbon footprint.
