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!
