Can ecotourism be effective? ft. Gaya Island Resort case study
Description
“Be open to models like this, because Iʻm watching the benefits while Iʻm here.”
Today I wanted to share my experience at Gaya Island Resort, a small ecoresort off of Borneo, Malaysia, surrounded by marine protected areas. What is the structure of their ecotourism approach, and is it serving local communities? I share the activities they offer, the funding structure they use, and the pros and cons of it in the broader conservation context.
