Recentlt i heard from the parents of the young man who died after a tobacco purge at a retreat in Peru called kapitari. The circumstances around are egregious. this video has some details.
This and other tragedies have spurred conversations on how to prevent these from happening in the future. One idea is to have a sort of 'best practices' certification for TOUR GUIDES AND AGENCIES, since getting Peruvian authorities on board with limiting a lucrative industry would be difficult most likely. This would be voluntary, international and very well publicized. Any tour worth its salt would want it.
The best practices would include medically trained personnel on site at all times among other safetymeasures.
Any ideas on how to make this a reality, and what would the best practice guideline look like?
Thanks for your input.
