Particularly notable routes…

Ecotourism is the main draw in Guyana

  snl.com   With a population of just 818,000 (and just over the size of Kansas, or England and Scotland comined), this is a country relatively few people have heard of, but will soon be be much better known - in part because huge recent oil-field finds are poised to make it a "petro power" and because more and more travelers are coming to appreciate its ecotourism riches.

10 places which show how Zambia Is eco-amazing

 Diego Delso When it comes to safaris and ecotourism, Zambia often takes a back seat to the likes of Botswana, Kenya, and Tanzania.

    Congratulations Hotel Mocking Bird HIll, I'm not surprised!

    I´ve bookmarked it, as it has interesting examples. 

     

    However I am not a fan of titles that claim to identify the TOP XX of something.

    1) What are the objective criteria used that determine "greenness"

    2) Did they really verify ALL the hotels in the world?

     

    But congrats to Mocking Bird Hill!

    Amazing! According to "Four Green Steps" the world's largest green market place - opting for a greener future, Hotel Mocking Bird Hill is amongst the world's top 10 green hotels.

    Have a look on the following link. It is also interesting to see what the other 9 hotels are doing to operate more environmentally friendly.
