picryl Let´s start with the fact that the Virgin Islands National Park covers nearly 60 percent of the island, based on land donated by millionaire philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller in 1956, and it harbors more than 20 trails which take hikers through diverse terrains, including various beaches, rock petroglyphs carved by the ancient Taíno people (in some cases more than a thousand years ago), and the ruins of centuries-old plantations (more about them below). Particularly notable routes…

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. Bordering Brazil, Suriname, and Venezuela on the north coast of South America and with a coastline of 285 miles, Guyana is…

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. But this large country in south-central Africa is positively packed with eco treasures, and its marquis attraction is one of the planet´s most spectacular waterfalls, Victoria Falls, which it shares with Zimbabwe.

Seeking to interview representatives of unique destination travel locations

(publicists, CVB’s, Dept of Tourism, etc.) to discuss the following:

—    Examples of how travel destinations spanning the planet are effected by the six-trillion-dollar global travel and tourism industry

—     Positive ways to contribute to local societies and economies when traveling throughout North America and abroad

—    What local communities are doing to earn money while simultaneously telling the stories that preserve their cultures

These discussions will contribute to a new journalistic project called “Write/Peace”, new on creative crowdfunding site: Kickstarter. Over the course of one year, we will publish a series of long-form (3,500+) articles addressing the economic impact of travel and tourism worldwide.

If you would like to discuss this project further, please email us your thoughts: info@writepeace.com.

Could you please enter a link that goes directly to the jaguar sighting? That is awesome and how wonderful that it's in Costa Rica!
Eugenia Jurado October 14, 2011 at 5:55pm

Last Monday we saw a mother jaguar and her babies in crossing the river in Tortuguero, Costa Rica!!! This is such an spectacular sighting that I had to share it with you guys. It is not often that we get to see an endagered animal,so this is most special. Protecting our surrounding is key factor to keep these things on happening. Go to our facebook page www.facebook.com/mawambalodge and like it and you will see the video. Lets share these great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
