Bloomberg Green: Sustainable Vacations and the Rise of Ecotourism

If the 20th century saw the birth of international tourism, then the 21st century has seen the boom in ecotourism. In this edition of Bloomberg Green, we'll look at the fastest-growing part of the travel industry: sustainable holidays. First, we'll look at the example of Costa Rica, which was an early adopter of the 'eco' label. Then we'll speak with the CEO of Omio, a start-up aiming to become the Skyscanner of ground transport. Our reporters investigate the darker side of the industry, with a new conservation project in Kenya that is having detrimental effects on local people. And finally, ecotourism pioneer Megan Epler-Wood joins the program to discuss how to regulate the industry and stop greenwashing.
