We have announced a special-interest workshop "Indigenous Business Leaders in Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism" to be held on Monday October 27th at the ESTC 2008 (Vancouver, BC, Canada).
Recognizing the important roles Indigenous peoples play as environmental stewards and entrepreneurs, TIES aims, as one of the main goals of the ESTC 2008, to "engage Native American and First Nation peoples as business leaders and environmental stewards in the sustainable growth of the tourism sector."
