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?

This is a great documentary I discovered (thanks to @travelfish) about wildlife poaching in Cambodia — and a surprising story of a poacher turned tour guide.
The documentary is designed for VR but you can watch it on any device — it's got some great sounds of the jungle so bring your headphones.
Chi-Phat is a Cambodian village located in the Cardamom Mountains at Koh Kong Province, south-west Cambodia.

Cheers for the plug. I’m not normally much of a fan of virtual tour type things, but this was the bomb. The night stuff with a headset is A+
Fascinating. Headphones definitely make the experience. Cambodia looks fascinating.
