At its annual meeting in October, IATA, the International Air Transport Association, rubber stamped a resolution in support of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. It’s definitely a priority for the industry. So how close are we to guilt-free and genuinely low-impact flying? Developments in electric airplanes, though still a distant possibility for long-haul flight, have also raised hopes for green air travel. Numerous airlines have already pledged to offer carbon-neutral travel and explore alternative fuels to reduce pollution. On the heels of the climate summit agreement by 200 countries to slash greenhouse emissions by 2030, the industry has been steeling itself for a crisis as more and more people raise concerns over the impact of air travel. The world is a changed place since we were last exploring it, and one of the main changes is the heightened concern we have for the damage we’ve been causing to it through activities such as flying.Īviation generates 2.8% of global CO2 emissions and, even before the recent COP26 climate talks, has become a lightning rod for the “flight shame” movement. While you might get more attention for having tattoos in some places than others, there are some places where you'll want to consider covering up your body art if you're traveling there.And yet, something is leaving a bitter taste. Some hotels and travel destinations embrace tattoos, and tattoos in general have become less of a big deal around the world, particularly with more people visiting.
It's 70% in Bangkok, Thailand, and Sydney, Australia, 80% in Tahiti and Miami Beach, and a whopping 99% of all those who get tattoos in Denpasar are tourists (via Insider). For instance, 60% of those who get a tattoo in Hawaii and in Cairo, Egypt are tourists. Then there are destinations where tourists like to get tattoos.
One particularly unique amenity that some hotels offer nowadays are tattoo artists who give guests the opportunity to get a tattoo during their stay. The Moxy Times Square is where celebrity tattooist JonBoy had a set up shop, and Walker Hotel Tribeca brought in a tattoo artist for a Mother's Day event, according to Travel + Leisure. Getting a souvenir from a favorite trip or vacation is practically a requirement, and while plenty of people get postcards, t-shirts, and jewelry, some go for something more permanent - a tattoo.
