is pleased to have supported Oaxaca's Ecotourism Fair which
took place October 31, 2002. More than a dozen exhibitors from the
state of Oaxaca took part in the event. The goal was to increase
sales of local operations working toward responsible tourism and
to educate educate locals
and visitors alike about what constitutes ecotourism.
The event continues the work begun in 2001.
