    This is a beautiful and important video. Thailand is one of the countries that is making great effort in integrating eco-travel in their tourism industry. I agree with you, "the wonders of the world is in our hands." An individual micro-contribution to make tourism sustainable can create as you said in the video "a symphony or responsible tourism that resonates through time." Thanks, Martin and Ave.. More of this kind of videos!
