Project

Students from various countries will learn about the role of green tourism in helping to promote awareness about conserving nature for the benefit of mankind in a world faced with climate change.

They will collaborate and share perspectives about places and tourism education through using computer software and a shared wikispace. In doing so, students will also learn about nature, heritage and the cultures in these different countries.

The goals of the 'Green Tourism' Project are :

1. to learn about green tourism and to promote it to the local and international community.

2. to build and develop a sense of love for nature and social responsibilities towards it

3. to learn about nature, heritage and cultures of countries around the world

4. to specifically promote green tourism in line with ‘Visit Perak Year 2012’ tagline ‘Green Tourism. Yours To Discover. Nature and Heritage’.
