Did you know the word tourism comes from the Hebrew “Tora”, which means “to study”?

Ecotourism is a newly coined word which means tourism focussing on local cultural heritage, personal development, adventure, volunteer work, nature and the environment, in a sustainable way.

When choosing a souvenir of your trip choose carefully. If you choose something made from wood, coral, shell, or animal products such as skins or ivory you can be adding to the environmental damage caused by the manufacture of the souvenir.
