Changemaker's Geotourism Competition
Changemakers, a project of Ashoka, launched their Geotourism Challenge on January 31, 2008. There are many Rolling Rains Report readers who will know of and may even run projects that would be excellent nominees for this project.
Head over to their nomination form and let them know about Inclusive Tourism by adding your nomination:
