I like to say that one should never enter a competition one isn’t willing to lose, but winning is quite sweet! I look at this particular award as a confirmation of the type of innovation needed in linking in the virtual and natural worlds. The work developing the Indigenous Tourism and Biodiversity Website Award was complemented by local training with indigenous friends in Oaxaca, Mexico. To receive kudos from the Local Travel Movement is the icing on the cake. Many thanks. You’ve made my day!
