Ecotours and Nature Getaways: A Guide to Environmental Vacations Around the World"If you're a nature/wildlife enthusiast with ecological concerns, Ecotours and Nature Getaways is the only travel guide you'll need. This comprehensive book is filled with hundreds of suggestions for a diversity of exciting and memorable group tours throughout the world, offered by environmentally responsible tour operators and such organizations as the Sierra Club and Earthwatch. You'll find birdwatching, botany, and general-interest tours; animal safaris, whale-watching trips, archipelago cruises, rafting and canoeing expeditions, and tours suitable for children; as well as research programs, workshops, and service trips that allow the traveler to assist in conservation projects. Descriptions of the trips, most of which are led by well-known naturalists, include the time of year available and number of days away, the number of participants in a group, mode of travel, accommodations, and cost. The authors have also provided vital information on selecting a tour operator, preparing for a trip, health and safety factors, travel in developing countries, and how the ecotourist can help to protect the environment."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
