Quotes
I came away from the World Ecotourism Summit excited by the positive energy and the passion and commitment of countless people. However, I also came away with the realization that there is a tremendous 'divide' between the international agencies and the indigenous leadership. The buzzword in the research and at the conferences is that 'local people' need 'capacity building.' With all due sincere respect, I would like to suggest that there is also a need for 'capacity building' within the international agencies themselves. - Consultant quoted in [|Reflections on the International Year of Ecotourism]
