Prince Harry lashes out at tourists as he pleas with public to save 'heart'

Prince Harry has made an impassioned plea for the preservation of travel destinations at the annual general meeting of Travalyst, an initiative he founded in 2019 to promote sustainable tourism. Addressing the audience via a video call from his home in Montecito, the Duke of Sussex emphasised the importance of protecting the "beating heart" of the travel industry and urged tourists to be mindful of the environments they visit.

Highlighting the symbiotic relationship between tourism and local communities, Harry stated: "Travel and tourism relies on destinations, held together by communities, without which we have nowhere to travel to. Communities are the beating heart of travel, and we must do better by the people who are the custodians of the places we visit."

This statement comes amidst speculation about Harry's continued involvement with Travalyst, following a previous announcement that heralded a new phase for the non-profit without mentioning his name. However, his recent appearance is likely to quell rumours of a split. The Duke launched Travalyst alongside his wife Meghan Markle in 2019, during their time as senior members of the Royal Family, reports the Express. For the next three years, he served as the public face of the initiative, which aims to assist travellers in reducing their carbon emissions, preventing over-tourism, and fostering local economies.

Harry, like his father and brother, is a well-known eco-campaigner but has faced criticism for his work with Travalyst due to his frequent use of fuel-intensive private jets. The Duke responded to the criticism, stating that he only uses private jets when necessary to ensure the safety of his family. He added that "no one is perfect" and what matters is "what we do to balance" our negative impacts.
