In this workshop, we’ll define ecotourism and discuss the benefits and challenges experienced by tourist destinations, local communities and travelers. We’ll look at some of the current trends in ecotourism, and help you identify tours and destinations that are truly sustainable. You’ll see pictures of and learn about community-based and indigenous lodges, and private ecotourism enterprises in Latin America, South Africa, the Caribbean, Nepal and the South Pacific. And, we’ll discuss ways to travel more lightly and respectfully closer to home.
