Ecotourism Research
Ecotourism Research is a pioneering Web 2.0 tuned attempt to engage the international ecotourism community of operators, tourists, tourism researchers and tourism policy people in an ongoing conversation around ‘environmentally sustainable’ tourism activity. The web site was developed by Lifecycling Design on behalf of the Centre for Ecological Economics and Water Policy Research at the University of New England in Armidale, Australia. The site incorporated forums, a blog, a resources exchange facility and various plans for collaborative research endeavour. However, the host Centre was closed via a restructuring process before full implementation could be realised. The concept remains, however, an initiative with which Lifecycling Design was proud to have been associated.
