Hello Kevin, Truly happy to write down a comment in your complete blog.
Generally, ecotourism focuses on socially responsible travel, personal growth, and environmental sustainability and we already believe it, despite others ideas... we think that it's going to be an important insight for us (as an ecological country). We need more post like this one, and of course, more people like you. We will share this blog (Twitter and Facebook) because we think that you are doing an amazing work. Well done and keep doing this.
We are Travel Designers Take care and Thank you.
