At TripSay we think most definitions of eco-travel focus way too much on technology and arbitrary calculations, such as carbon footprints. We think eco-travel is traveling to see the natural wonders of the world. For example: you travel to the Great Barrier Reef to experience the clean waters, colorful corals, and a myriad of different fishes. The locals make their living out of the reef and it is in their best interest to maintain the reef vivid and lively to keep travelers coming back and telling their friends about the amazing underwater sceneries. An ecotraveler goes to places, where nature is not a resource but a value as such. In doing so, she enables the locals to make their living out of the nature in sustainable way. I wrote about this in my personal blog. [...] [...] JUSSI HUOTARI: This is a very good question.

This post was actually inspired by your tweet about ecotravel in Finland (http://twitter.com/ilkkakauppinen/status/1565534864). I didn't want to settle with the most common definition for ecotravel that makes people think about technology (e.g. hybrid cars, hotel's mattress materials) or rating systems (e.g. LEED). These are all nice and fine but... If travel can make people appreciate clean environment, the impact is much more prominant than any hotel's "our doorknobs are made of recycled glass" gimmicks. :P Thanks Ilkka!

But ok. I promise that the topic of my next entry won't be "Travel Trends for 2010". ;-) Writing more often has occured to me as well but, you know, it’s a busy world and you got to take some time to play the guitar as well.

But ok. I promise that the topic of my next entry won’t be “Travel Trends for 2010″. ;-)
