existence that will be presented in the documentary are:
- Staying in an eco-lodge in the rainforest of Ecuador
- Tasting organic and local food specialties in small French farms
- Hiking in the Balkans peace park
- Getting involved in a scientific research project about whales in
Mexico - Experiencing a home-stay while trekking in the Himalayas
In order to reach a large audience, The World Wise Traveler episodes will be
available for television broadcast as well as DVD sales, and potentially
web-streaming. Additionally, a website will be created to provide travelers
with an in-depth resource concerning the information addressed in the
series. Finally, a feature-length documentary on the subject of responsible
tourism will be produced, summarizing the 12 episodes, in order to present
a more accessible overview of the subject.

for this project. Our proposal is available upon request by contacting us at
