Planeta Unveils Second Responsible Tourism Week

Friday, 15 May, 2010 0

 

 
Launched last year when Belize responsible tourism convention was cancelled: RTW is now in second year
 
“Responsible Tourism Week (May 17-21) is a free demonstration of Web 2.0
planeta.wikispaces.com/web2as a means of documenting the
challenges of developing (and maintaining!) responsible tourism.” Says Planeta’s Ron Mader

“One of the key objectives of Responsible Tourism Week is to create incentives for continuity – we’d really like to hear updates on recent tourism conferences and events and we’d like to look forward to events in the future. Another key objective is to strengthen relationships with
existing contacts and make new friends!”

“We’ll be using Delicious, Facebook, Flickr, Slideshare, Twitter and YouTube to document tourism practices around the world.”

“Be honest and be public. This is the week where you get to shout out to the world the good things you see around you. Create a local event. Support a local event. Create a local event. Lead the way or follow the topics for which you have interest and passion. Talk food, volunteering, slowtravel, localtravel. Organize a marshmellow challengemarshmallowchallenge.com or create a foamboard www.flickr.com/photos/planeta/sets/72157623427109816.

TIPS
