Media reviews

'[A] groundbreaking book.' The Ecologist 'If you are interested in responsible tourism, this is a must.' ABTA Magazine 'If you haven't already booked a summer holiday and you are, or want to be, a responsible traveller, then this guide has plenty of suggestions.' The Sunday Times 'With a directory packed with community-based tour operators and guest houses, it will allow you to veer off the beaten track with-out leaving the footprint associated with traditional tourism.' Geographical 'Conveys its message gently and thoughtfully, without an excess of political correctness.' The Daily Telegraph 'A good reference for ethical tourism.' Daily Echo 'The ultimate guide to tours and holidays that benefit local people instead of spoiling their way of life.' A Place in the Sun '[It] picks its way through what could be a minefield of dodgy claims to select what it describes as examples of 'true ecotourism', with hundreds of holidays featured.'
