The Myths and Facts of Eco-Tourism

Author
Julie Trupke
Rethinking Tourism Project

Ecotours, adventure tours, sustainable tours, reality tours - if you are seeking a vacation alternative to Disneyland or Club Med, there are certainly plenty of options. However, how do you decide what is right for you, and what kind of vacation matches your values? Do you have to leave your social, political or environmental consciousness at home just to have a good time? The Rethinking Tourism Project, an Indigenous Peoples organization based in St. Paul, suggests we critically examine all aspects of this far-reaching industry, including the "alternatives."
