FYI - Editorial suggestions are welcome.


Sustainable tourism requires collaboration, and working toward ecotourism is a good place to start.


QUESTIONS

What is the value of collaboration?
How do tourism players create incentives for collaboration?

WORK SMART

Many tourism stakeholders are aware that improving collaboration is a worthy objective, yet they feel stymied by how to put the practice into action. Lack of collaboration is a proverbial stone in the road for those developing ecotourism and any 'sustainable' tourism operation.

Institutional agreements often lack incentives for collaboration. In a project developed by multiple stakeholder groups, who gets the credit if the project succeeds? Who is blamed if a project fails?

Sharing the burden decreases the burden and expands opportunities for all. Work smart, not hard.

FLICKR

A good example is Flickr, which has tremendous potential for Citizen Journalism.

Planeta.com groups include Accessible Travel, City Parks and World Museums. Members can even fave photos, a good form of encouragement!
