Kerala misses out on Eco Tourism Poll
Go Travel Insurance - Cheap Travel Insurance on the web: "Tanzania has been voted the world's top eco-tourism destination on an online travel poll in January 2006.
The African country came out top as a result of its policy of connecting tourism with responsible activities such as conserving wildlife and promoting work in local communities. Wildlife safaris are hugely popular in Tanzania, accounting for 75 per cent of all tourist activity in the country.
Two other African countries also came in the top three: Kenya, rated highly for similar reasons to Tanzania, and Egypt, more popular as an adventure holiday destination.
Other eco-friendly destinations for the environmentally aware traveller are India, where the southern state of Kerala is proving increasingly popular as a result of its rich mix of cultural and enviromental assets.
Tanzania also did well in another tourism category recently, winning a Torchbearer Award for best performing tourist entity, thanks to its internationally acclaimed Holiday Inn Dar es Salaam. "
