Come to ETHIC AND DEBATE CLUB at lunch today, Wednesday in Mr. Jamieson’s room (304) as we discuss whether tourism truly benefits the world, or if it just adds more problems. “Can your Spring Break beach vacation help fight poverty? Is overtourism destroying popular destinations and harming local populations?”
