Answer [2] by Open AI (September 19, 2023) The concept of "Traveling for the rich and Metaverse for the poor" could be seen as a potential approach to promote environmentally sustainable tourism. This idea combines elements of luxury travel experiences for those who can aﬀord it with virtual reality-based experiences for those who cannot, in order to reduce the environmental impact of tourism. Here are some considerations: Reduced Environmental Impact: Traditional tourism often involves signiﬁcant carbon emissions from ﬂights, accommodation, transportation, and other activities. By promoting virtual travel experiences for those with limited means, it can potentially reduce the carbon footprint associated with travel. Accessible Exploration: The Metaverse or virtual reality can provide opportunities for people to explore destinations and cultures they might not have been able to visit physically due to ﬁnancial or physical constraints. This can promote inclusivity and cultural exchange. Preservation of Natural Resources: High-end tourism often involves the use of resources like pristine natural areas, which can suﬀer environmental degradation. Focusing luxury travel on limited, controlled areas can help preserve these places. However, there are also important considerations and potential challenges: Digital Divide: Not everyone has access to the necessary technology or internet infrastructure to participate in the Metaverse. Addressing the digital divide is essential to ensure that this solution is accessible to all. Economic Disparities: While this approach may reduce the carbon footprint associated with travel, it doesn't directly address economic disparities or the root causes of poverty. It's important to consider broader strategies for addressing these issues. Cultural and Social Impact: Virtual experiences may not fully replicate the richness of real- world travel, including cultural immersion and interpersonal connections. There may be a loss of authenticity and meaningful cultural exchange. Economic Implications: The tourism industry is a signiﬁcant source of revenue and employment in many regions. A shift toward virtual experiences could have economic implications for these areas. Technological Advancements: The success of the Metaverse as an alternative to physical travel relies on the continued advancement of virtual reality and related technologies. This may take time to develop and may not be accessible to everyone immediately. In conclusion, "Traveling for the rich and Metaverse for the poor" could be a part of a larger strategy to promote environmentally sustainable tourism and increase access to travel experiences. However, it should be implemented thoughtfully, considering issues like the digital divide, economic disparities, and the preservation of cultural and natural resources. Additionally, it should be complemented by other eﬀorts to reduce the environmental impact of tourism and address its social and economic consequences.

Discussing tourism with robots #1 João Romão: Traveling for the rich and Metaverse for the poor. Can this be a possible future solution for environmentally sustainable tourism? Answer [1] by Ask-skift (July 6, 2023) It is indeed possible that diﬀerent forms of travel could be utilized by diﬀerent income levels, with wealthier individuals potentially able to aﬀord more environmentally sustainable forms of travel, and less aﬄuent individuals potentially turning to virtual experiences such as those oﬀered by the Metaverse. This could contribute to a more sustainable tourism landscape. This idea is somewhat supported by a shift noted in the travel industry, where sustainability is increasingly considered important. As suggested in articles from June 2023 and April 2023, the majority of people worldwide believe sustainable travel is important and travelers are choosing companies that prioritize environmentally sustainable practices. Club Med, for example, is accelerating its sustainability eﬀorts in response to consumer concerns about carbon emissions from their travels (Skift, April 2023). However, it's important to consider that sustainability should not be a luxury only the rich can aﬀord. Ideally, sustainable tourism practices should be accessible and aﬀordable to all travelers. Moreover, while the Metaverse could oﬀer virtual travel experiences, it would be a signiﬁcantly diﬀerent experience from physical travel and may not fulﬁl the same needs and desires. Thus, while the scenario you proposed could be part of the solution, it is likely that a multi-faceted approach to sustainable tourism will be needed, incorporating both technological advancements and behavioral changes. JR: My scenario was not exactly a proposal: it was a kind of cynical view about what seems to be happening. companies oﬀering new "sustainable" options are currently using prices that are prohibitive to very large parts of the populations. Ask-skift: You are correct in your observation that sustainable options in the travel industry are often priced higher, making them inaccessible to a signiﬁcant portion of the population. This is a trend that has been recognized within the industry. As per a Skift article from December 2022, the top product executive at Travelport mentioned that sustainability for individual consumers is currently too expensive and too hard to understand. Additionally, an article published in January 2023 highlighted that while many travel executives bemoan consumers' refusal to pay for more sustainable oﬀerings, the industry itself has not oﬀered many serious sustainable oﬀerings to date. The skepticism of consumers is justiﬁed as they question the value of many carbon oﬀsets and the motivation behind certain policies, like reduced housekeeping service in hotels. So, while your scenario may seem cynical, it reﬂects some of the challenges in the current state of sustainable tourism. It is hoped that as the travel industry progresses, more aﬀordable and understandable sustainable options will become available to a wider range of consumers.

The large-scale quarrying and use of decorative stone and marble are recognised, quintessentially Roman features, as this volume also substantiates. The importance of stone in Roman society is not only made apparent by its vast use in public art and architecture, but also by its selection for the décor of domestic and funerary contexts. Phenomena such as referencing in other media (e.g. in paint or glass) (cf. Cisneros et al. forthcoming), re-use and salvaging already in antiquity (cf. Duckworth-Wilson 2020), further testify to its materiality. Innumerable studies have approached the marble phenomenon in the Roman empire along with aspects of economics, production, trade and their wider socio-political implications; yet by focusing mostly on these questions, many have failed to engage with more specific issues that are at the very core of marble use, such as its sensorial features or material semantics and their potential impact on users/perceivers (with the exception of colour studies, Bradley 2006, 2009; cf. Perna 2012). Very little emphasis is usually placed on the deeper sensorial impact of marble on viewers in specific socio-cultural contexts, for example, in domestic spaces of interaction or in the funerary sphere, or in relation to the surrounding landscape or within the same context combined with other elements such as water and light. Although some recent studies have begun to address such issues (cf. Barker et al. 2020), these aspects still remain latent in Roman marble studies. Triggered by Ingold’s (2000) idea of material, as in matter, and materiality, this paper seeks to introduce the themes of sensoriality combined with materiality while outlining their analytical potential in marble studies. Material is not only the substance of objects, but it is deeply entangled with their being, design, function and meaning (Ingold 2007, 1-16). Marble and decorative stone, as basic elements, can be said to be the ‘performance of materiality’ par excellence because they naturally possess, or are imbued with, an array of key functional and semiotic qualities. In architecture, marble and decorative stone can have both a strong staging power and a crucial structural function; in the shape of other man-made objects, such as vases, stone performs its materiality through the entanglement of haptic qualities, specific designs as well as semantic considerations connected with the socio-cultural practices and contexts of use of these objects. But, most of all, stone and marble can be defined as ‘sensory materials’ as they are endowed with an array of sensorial qualities. These may be analysed through the lens of the ‘archaeology of senses’, an approach that combines a sensory perspective based on human perceptions through one or all senses together, and historical textual sources to understand the relationship between past material culture and the individual (Betts 2017). In this paper, I intend to offer some points of discussion on marble use in the Roman world, tapping into a common Roman ideology of self-representation and memory, through a sensory, text-based approach as an alternative analytical tool.

In a growing Own Voices era, Jewish fantasy has been pushing for more diversity. Disney has joined in lately, with Elena of Avalor hosting a Sephardic (Spanish heritage) heroine for Hannukah in “Festival of Lights.” Some fans speculate that the Encanto family are Jewish, based on their generational trauma and traditional surname. The Wish family have similar hallmarks. This has all culminated with Daniel Jose Older’s Ballad & Dagger (2022), the first teen Rick Riordan Presents book. Mateo doesn’t remember his birthplace. “And because I was gone from Little Madrigal for so much of my childhood, mine feels like a double diaspora, my own personal haunting” (15). The Brooklyn characters are refugees from San Madrigal, a magical Caribbean island founded by a Sephardic rabbi, a pirate, and a Santero (painter of saints). They fascinatingly blended these traditions with others like African-derived worship. This novel shows the potential of intermingled fantasy settings—creating an entirely new mythology on the question of What If. Pirate law and Jewish ethics combine with saints and destiny as the young people discover their magical gifts. Inclusion of Spanish and Ladino along with Hebrew and Cubanized Yoruba (not to mention a glossary!) adds more depth. In Brooklyn, they live in diaspora, maintaining the traditions of their lost island even as they hope to revive it. As such, they mirror so many immigrants today, maintaining their cultures in the modern melting pot of America. After the climax, the rabbi describes La Convivencia, a time when Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived together peacefully in Spain. He adds that on their new island, they tried to create such a society again from so many disparate cultures. It will always be a fantasy but also always true “as we clean up, heal, mourn. Most of all, as we love” (361). With this, he expresses hope for a world of inclusion. Other teen fantasies like Ruth Tenzer Feldman’s The Blue Thread and Leigh Bardugo’s The Ninth House likewise reveal Sephardic diaspora culture, a minority within the minority population. These, however, offer realism, while a Sephardic original fantasy land is a more intriguing choice. Exploring how Ballad & Dagger touches on real traditions of Jewish pirates and modern refugees, this paper will consider the imaginative scope of multicultural fantasy.
