The organisation 'Tourism Concern' based in UK is campaigning worldwide for more responsible tourism and for local communities to benefit from any tourism in their country. There was a study carried out a while ago on Community based Tourism - publication can be obtained from Tourism Concern An Annual General Meeting of this organisation is taking place on October 16th in London. The theme is 'Sun, Sea and Sand and Sweatshops' with representatives (workers) from several countries present to impartr their experiences. Please contact www.tourismconcern.org.uk for more information. There are now more degree and Masters programmes offered with this in mind in UK Universities. It may be possible to offer placements to students to offer their time to develop your ideas and learn from you and your communities on what has worked for centuries before in land management, in environment management as well. I hope that you will succeed in your endeavours to involve the local communities.
