Jawdropping ecotourism on Costa Rica´s Osa Peninsula

Hugh Lansdown The sun had set and the stars above seemed brighter than I’ve ever seen them before. Floating in the warm waters of the Golfo Dulce, in Costa Rica‘s remote Osa Peninsula. tiny, bright green balls of light swirled around me – bioluminescent algae. Grinning uncontrollably and feeling like a twelve-year-old, I finally ran from the water and through the warm sprinklers of a nearby beach resort just off shore. It was my third time in two weeks visiting this hidden strip of beach in…

In the Tour Operator group Chef LeeZ asked for some clarification of our TOPs program re pricing.

We allow travel products and services to be added to our program at the same price that they are sold TO wholesalers or retailers....ie... the 'outlet' or ' source' price....they DO NOT have to be further discounted....hope this helps...this allows the smallest of quality travel businesses to promote their services at no cost to our members....full info onsite.

Hi Tripatini members!

I am doing some research on traveler perceptions about Oman- why tourists may choose to go to the Sultanate (country), what types of tourism they associate with Oman and what some of the obstacles to Omani tourism development may be.

I have put together a very quick 8 question survey, ideally for people who have not yet been. It would be wonderful to get as many responses as possible, and I know tripatini is a network for global travelers, so please fill it out if you have a spare 5 minutes.

Here is the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SH9NPDT

Thank you very much!

Any group members interested in learning and networking about global ecotourism in Monterrey at TIES yearly Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference ?

http://www.ecotourismconference.org/

As a new member of the TIES advisory board, I went to last years conference. I found it very worthwhile and the ESTC2012 is one of the few international events I have registered for.

Some great speakers, opportunities to see what Monterrey is doing sustainability wise. And it is always great to catch up with ecotourism friends from all around the world and meet new ones. For those who have businesses this is a great opportunity to showcase yourself to some top influencers.
