Planeta responsible tourism week draws closer


Fall in love with responsible tourism. The dates are set for Planeta next
Responsible Tourism Week. planeta.wikispaces.com/rtweek2011
The unconventional, online unconference takes
place Feb 14-18, 2011.
Responsible Tourism Week is a fun mash-up exploring down to
earth applications of noble concepts including responsible tourism, the
local travel movement and ecotourism with practical and inexpensive Web 2.0
technologies.
Take a peek at what Planeta accomplished last year via the Planeta
Wiki planeta.wikispaces.com/rtweek2010 and on Slideshare.

 PLaneta is seeking partners and financial sponsors.


Simply put, this online unconference is an excellent way to broaden and
deepen our dialogue about sustainable practice and tourism. The event
encourages participants to articulate their core values and the way they put
noble ideas into practice. It’s an opportunity to introduce new events,
tours and research projects as well as an opportunity to summarize recent 
events.
Says Ron Mader “Yes, it’s a high-tech, but we also promote the foamboard
 oaxaca.wikispaces.com/foamboard . For those who can keep track of a
hashtag, it’s a new window to the world!

How to participate? You can start now by documenting the stories you’d like
to share. In particular we will highlight photos on Flickr, tweets on
Twitter, videos on YouTube and recommended blogs and wikis. This year we 
will start to feature tours using Gowalla and Foursquare. Check out the
toolbox planeta.wikispaces.com/tools !

The talking points for RT 2011will be updated on the wiki.”
Of special
interest in 2011 planeta.wikispaces.com/2011 will be the role of
responsible tourism in forests planeta.wikispaces.com/forests and
cities planeta.wikispaces.com/city . Join us!
