Why registering ?
This website is a collaborative platform. It aims at sharing best-practice and lessons learnt in aboriginal ecotourism between community members.
If you are representative of an aboriginal community, a consultant, a researcher, a student and if you have a genuine interest in aboriginal ecotourism, you are free and welcome to register and to submit a case study on line.
Registering will grant you an access to the private area where you’ll be able to write articles to be published on the public website.
Also, you will be able to take part into the internal forum and comments on articles being submitted for publication.
Some of the discussions on the public side of the website also require registration.
