Global Ecotourism Conference - Holmenkollen, Oslo, Norway - 14.-16. of May 2007

Global Ecotourism Conference

Aivar Ruukel from Karuskose (www.soomaa.com) is participating on the Global Ecotourism Conference, taking place on May 14-16, 2007 in Oslo, Norway. This event is organized by The International Ecotourism Society (TIES), Ecotourism Norway, The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

This conference brings together national and regional ecotourism associations and networks from around the world, along with other interested organizations and individuals, to discuss common issues and to help strengthen the collective voice of the ecotourism community.

The participants of the conference will be given the invaluable opportunity to be part of the growing global movement for ecotourism, which is playing a crucial part in ensuring that travel and tourism remains a viable sector of the global economy and that it is environmentally, as well as financially, sustainable.

Aivar Ruukel is making a presentation on the topic "Lifelong Learning in Ecotourism", where he analyses the lessons learned in his tourism activities in Soomaa national park and also presents the ideas of ECOLL-project.
