About Rethink Travel

This site reflects our personal journeys in Asia to find the 'right' kind of tourism, however you define it - sustainable tourism, ecotourism, geotourism, or responsible tourism. The thing is, they share the same goals - the right kind of tourism merely means less impact on our environment, more benefits to local communities and greater respect for local cultures and ethos.

Through sharing our encounters with inspiring individuals, businesses and destinations, we hope to seek like-minded folks to share their stories in return. Perhaps, our site will be the link to a wider community of folks who are keen to rethink the way we thought about travel.

And yes, do check out our online resource centre at Wild Asia whilst you are at it...

Wild Asia's 4th Responsible Tourism Awards

Nominations are now open till 29th May 2009!

Wild Asia is looking to hear from accommodation operators from across Asia (big or small, privately run or community driven). The awards, now in it's fourth year is one of the only awards for Responsible Tourism that's actually driven by Asians! All entries are screened by Wild Asia's team using a self-assessment checklist (now aligned to UNWTO's Global Sustainable Tourism Criteria) and all finalists are visited by a team of fact-finders. The winners will be announced this year in October 2009 at a venue to be announced.

For more information on this awards, visit Wild Asia.
