| Let's 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.

Museums. Members can even fave
photos, a good form of encouragement!
