NGOs & Nonprofits in
Tourism and Conservation: On-line Conference
October 2002 , Organised by Planeta.com, Co-sponsored by ECOCLUB.com
This conference will examine the role of non-profits and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) in the tourism and conservation cultures. Participants will
review how these players interact with business and government. We'd like to
discuss the best case examples and those that are not the best. Two of the
immediate products of the conference will be an index of ngo/non-profit players
and a public archive.
