Thanks Gordon for this. Just to add a bit more info on the EEN. The core aim of the European Ecotourism Network- EEN is to bring together ecotourism stakeholders and create a platform to improve knowledge and quality of European ecotourism offerings. A key activity will be to refine the draft European Ecotourism Labeling Standard- EETLS in order to have a practical document which we can all communicate and built a set of learning tools around it to make it actually happen. This is a process that needs consultation and support, therefore the reach should be wide. So far we have managed to get support from the European Commission to establish this Network and the EETLS is gradually receiving increased support and interest throughout. Recently we have learned that a National Tourism Organisations is willing to adopt the EETLS as national standards, and another is taking it under consideration. A website will be soon online that will host all relevant info and Destinet will a big role in the community development. I would be very interested to see the responses in this thread and the features of this network that people would be interested in
