SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE AS A TOURIST ATTRACTION

Eddie said: "The basic idea is Naturama (or any name we find suitable) as a mother organization. Visitor centers could be in cities and experimental villages could be placed into rural areas. Also areas representing certain themes that could be good material for exhibitions and media.

How can Sustainable Living become a Tourist Attraction?. Well, I could come up with 10 good ways of doing it just from the top of my head, but I won´t. I shall give you a good reason though: IT´S THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECT IN THE WORLD. And if you give me a quick response on this mail i shall give you 9 more : )"

Daniel: "I think this is a powerful idea, I am most taken by the fact that I understood what's the value and attraction of this project when I read this one sentence. Great job, it comes with lots of thinking I bet. I can definitely imagine this work very well. There is a trend of Chinese urban dwellers going to farms around the city to eat, fish and etc. It would be interesting perhaps first to redesign some existing farms into a sustainable living experience. Perhaps we can turn out a membership for businesses that meets the criteria to join us (similar to the hotel alliance, ex. World's Leading small hotels). I can think of numerous ways to start this project with both an online interface and lots of physical demonstration centers. The startup projects can be rather modest and grow later."
