Synopsis
Eco-travel and sustainable tourism are two of the fastest growing trends in the international travel industry. Eco-travelers enjoy organized tours that sustain local economies or support conservation efforts accompanied by eco-guides who teach the best ways to enjoy off-the-beaten-path destinations without damaging the environment. In Eco Travel And Sustainable Tourism, you'll find such adventurous offerings as eco-tenting in Maho Bay, Virgin Islands; scientific expeditions in the Galapagos Islands, and African safaris that support and sustain elephant populations. With an introduction by Stanley Selengut, one of the fathers of ecotourism, this extensive guide is chock-full of exotic locations, accommodation and activity information, and tips on traveling consciously.
