What
does it mean to be Green?
And does it matter...
OK,
let's answer the second question first:
"Eco/green/sustainable
tourism appears to be by far the fastest growing market sector and
it is predicted it to hit 170m of a forecast 850m international
tourists and a eco/greensustainable market value of $150bn by 2006.
In regional and local markets the eco/green/sustainable tourism
value may be much higher."

So
it's BIG business and getting even bigger and presumably you'll want
your share of it. But, what do these "Green Tourists"
want... what does it mean to be "Green"?
Well,
the good news first...
A
number of definitions of "Green Tourism" include the
buzzwords "Small scale". "Local entrepreneurs"
and "Local communities" - that's you!
The
better news second...
Greenness
involves a specific decision on the part of the tourist not only to
encourage local economies by buying their goods, but also not to
waste energy. Think of it - lower
energy bills for your accommodation, less waste, less washing and
ironing. Less COSTS!
And
the even better news...
"Donors
involvement in developing this trend is substantial. Led by the EU,
the World Bank, the UNDP, over $8bn is already invested in
tourism-related projects (double the amount of 10 years ago) and
reinforced by two Earth Summits, the commitment to sustainability is
paramount." This means that there is, or very soon will be, a
well-funded green initiative near you. Get involved, believe it or
not, you're at the leading edge of modern tourism.
