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. In addition, there are some 20 teeming nature reserves which offer as rewarding an eco-experience as any of Zambia´s neighbors – arguably even more so,…

7 ecotourism stars of Honduras

  HermésLeonelVega Though Costa Rica is Central America´s (and perhaps all of Latin America´s) premier star when it comes to ecotourism, there´s also an undersung but incredibly rich trove of eco treasures to be explored next door in Honduras, with lush rainforests and stunning coastlines, among other things. On the marine side – exploring the richness of the world´s second largest coral reef, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef – the islands of Roatán and Utila are better known. But here are a…

The Jewel in Puerto Rico's Eco Crown: El Yunque Rainforest

 Javier_Art_Photography The "Isle of Enchantment" offers an amazingly diverse menu of options to visitors, in capital San Juan and well beyond - history and culture, for sure, but also tasty eating, drinking, and beaching, along with memorable partying and much much more. But one side of Puerto Rico you should definitely not miss is its wealth of eco opportunities, from glowing "bioluminescent" bays to spectacular waterfalls, and most especially a large swath about an hour's drive from San…

  • Regrettably, we must add our voice to calls for a tourism boycott of Uganda, a country with much ecotourism potential but which has let virulent bigotry - much of it from anti-gay hate groups in the U.S. - lead its parliament and president to enact a draconian and barbaric law imposing prison and in some cases even the death penalty for homosexual practices. This has no place in a civilized world, and visitors have many other options when it comes to exploring African wildlife and local cultures So until this madness is stopped, please refrain from supporting it with your tourism business. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/news/calls-for-a-tourist-boycott...

  • There's a lot packed into Singapore's 283 square miles, but visitors don't often think of ecotourism as a draw here.

  • A couple of months ago, The Guardian ran a thought-provoking piece called "Can the Tourism Industry Survive the Climate Crisis?" It began: "One of the terrible ironies of the climate crisis is that some of the most beautiful – and popular – places in the world are also the most vulnerable. Which means as temperatures rise, extreme weather events increase, water sources dry up and natural habitats die, these places are facing another devastating loss: tourists." And proceeded to cite several case studies - mostly ecotourism stalwarts - that paint a fairly grim picture. A sobering read: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/dec/02/tourism-industr...
