EDITORIAL
There is one thing to talk about ecotourism, and another actually
doing it, the latter is much better. And that's
what I did in late April, and had an excellent time, thanks to the
warm hospitality of our Members in Kerala and Karnataka, S. India, you
will find a short account in our Member
News. In this issue you can also find the seven
project proposals submitted by our Ecolodge Members for the
ECOCLUB Ecolodge Award 2004. The winner will be chosen by email vote
by all Members, and announced on the 1st of July 2004, the fifth
anniversary of the foundation of ECOCLUB. Our aim is to encourage
feasible, concise projects, instead of the red herrings that large
financial institutions sometimes produce.
But first
start with this issue's fascinating interview of Mr.
Sotiris Kitrilakis, who entered Ecotourism after an illustrious career
in other sectors, including NASA and the food industry.
