IMPROVING THE DIALOGUE

The following is an overview of suggestions from multiple stakeholders on improving communication in the realm of responsible tourism and conservation. We consider what operators suggest, put ourselves in the boots of a traveler and consider how new technologies make it easier than ever for everyone to become 'media.'

ABOUT THE EVENT

Part of the Musica por la Tierra concert, the Encuentro Internacional por la Naturaleza took place May 18-26, 2006 in Huatulco, Mexico. Participants prepared a declaration about how responsible tourism can contribute to the protection of natural areas.
