Forwarding news from ECOCLUB

------ Forwarded Message
From: ECOCLUB - International Ecotourism Monthly
Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2005 22:19:28 GMT
Subject: ECOCLUB, International Ecotourism Monthly, Issue 66

Dear ECOCLUB Members & Readers

Our thoughts are with the victims of the tsunami disaster and in particular the staff and tourists of our Members Golden Buddha Beach in Thailand,
please support their relief efforts for their neigbouring villages. We also commend our Members in Sri Lanka, Ranweli Holiday Village, Tree Tops Jungle Lodge and River Garden Resort, that were not affected by the disaster, for their assistance to their local communities.
>> http://ecoclub.com/tsunami.html

The best that each of us can do in the memory of all victims,
in the years to come is to put pressure where we can, so that every person in the affected areas, and beyond, from now on gets access to a decent job and a decent life, and so that a better type of tourism, that can provide such means to all, emerges from the ruins of the tsunami.

Eco regards for a better, different 2005

Antonis B. Petropoulos
Editor, ECOCLUB

TOURISM LAND-GRABS MEAN THOUSANDS OF TSUNAMI SURVIVORS IN SRI LANKA, INDIA AND THAILAND REMAIN HOMELESS, SAYS TOURISM CONCERN
http://www.tourismconcern.org.uk/media/2006/Tsunami%20Aftermath%20Press%20Release%2004.12.06.htm

The pressure group Tourism Concern welcomes BBC 2’s two-part TV drama ‘Tsunami, The Aftermath’ which raises that most hidden of issues – why local people have not been able to move back home, nearly two years after the 2004 Boxing Day disaster in South East Asia. This is an outstanding opportunity for all of us to finally understand what happened to local people following the tsunami.

Tourism Concern’s report, “Post-tsunami reconstruction: a second disaster?” was the first to reveal back in October 2005 that it was very likely that people would be doubly displaced, first by the tsunami and then by opportunistic tourism development.
