My Take Home
• Synergies are inherent in complexity of life;• Innovation and knowledge sharing is key• Ethical appeal alone is not enough;
conservation must make economic sense;• Pragmatism needs to guide responsible
tourism – how responsible is responsible!• Credible assessments are essential but lacking
