PEPY finalist for Geotourism Challenge 2009


PEPY, an NGO in Cambodia I do volunteer work for (and helped photograph their school projects last year, see that project here), is a finalist in the Ashoka Changemaker's Geotourism Challenge 2009. It's all about sustainable tourism and...they explain it better than I do:
"The goal of the Geotourism Challenge is to identify and showcase innovators—individuals and organizations—that directly or indirectly support good destination stewardship and the approach known as geotourism: “tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place—its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents.” Innovators who improve or protect that character of place are as important as geotourism practitioners."

PEPY is awesome and if you have 5 minutes they could use your vote to help them keep doing what they do. Click here to register and vote.
