This Months Highlight: Sustainable Tourism
from the GDRC Programme on Urban Environmental
Management
Sustainable tourism in its purest sense, is an industry
which attempts to make a low impact on the environment
and local culture, while helping to generate income,
employment, and the conservation of local ecosystems.
It is responsible tourism which is both ecologically and
culturally sensitive. GDRC looks at the theme of
sustainable tourism from the perspective of urban
environmental management as a whole. For further
details, please see:

As with all sections of GDRC, contributions,
comments and suggestions are always welcome from
users and subscribers! Please contact GDRC's
Coordinator at - mosaic@gdrc.org
FOCUS ON GDRC: Asking questions
Asking questions the right way is an art in itself. The
ability to ask the right question properly is probably as
difficult as finding the right answer. It is a skill that will
help us learn new things and obtain new insights.
Good questioning skills may be the world's most unsung
talent. Ask the right questions in the right way, and
you'll engage people; do it differently, and you'll put
them off.
As an ancient Japanese saying goes, everyone is a teacher
and has something new to teach us, if only we ask them!
And asking them starts with a question!
