The
Butterfly Club is moving forward and I've added
a link to the left navigation bar where all the lodges
that have filled out the Eco Questionnaire are
listed. There is also a link by each Butterfly Club member's
lodge to the same information. The questionnaire is an
attempt to make sure that lodges listed here are indeed
practicing sustainable tourism. It also gives you a chance
to see what each lodge actually does to promote eco-tourism.
Hopefully this is all leading towards a type of Eco
Certification program. At the least, it's another
tool to help inquiring minds determine which lodges practice
sustainability. |
