Making the Case for Sustainable Tourism

It’s no revelation that most travellers don't worry about the problems of the world and take into account environmental and social sustainability when making travel plans. Andrew Sebastian, the Co-Founder and CEO of the Ecotourism & Conservation Society of Malaysia (ECOMY) joins us to make the case for why we should all opt for sustainable tourism choices, and to help sift through 'greenwashing' practices by eco-tourism companies, who market sustainability more than they practice it.
