Encouraging Thought Leadership And Innovation Through Sustainability And Ecotourism Advocacy

The Speaking of Travel + Leave No Trace Series with Richard Crawford of the Amazon Prime TV Show, Leave No Trace, spotlights Glenn Jampol, an ecotourism pioneer and owner of Finca Rosa Blanca in Costa Rica. Glenn chairs the Global Ecotourism Network, a global group of other ecotourism pioneers and practitioners who want to share their years of experience in ecotourism and sustainable tourism practices, and their wide contact network, to help others.

The Global Ecotourism Network brings the world’s regional and national ecotourism associations, networks and destinations, together with indigenous and rural peoples, global operators, professionals and academics, to grow the industry, provide advocacy, encourage thought leadership and innovation, and add greater authenticity to ecotourism.
