“'I think the issue isn’t so much more visitors as it is more uneducated visitors,' says Jonathan Brunger, secretary on the board for the International Galapagos Tour Operators Association (IGTOA) and general manager of Adventure Life, a sustainable travel company that arranges trips to the region. 'The more the tourism industry here lowers its standards—such as by offering cheaper price points and making it easier to arrange travel on your own—the more you run the risk that the travelers themselves are not caring to book through responsible tour operators, but rather just going it alone.'"

"Mexico has captured the spotlight as a model for sustainable adventure tourism growth. Given the remote locations where some of the best opportunities await, and the difficulty of transporting equipment - especially if you want to pursue more than one type of activity - tours can provide adventures that would be challenging if not impossible to manage on your own."

A typical day may start with zip-lining through a temperate forest and riding horses with chagras (cowboys) and continue with an afternoon spent planting trees and clearing trails. At night guests retire to hacienda-style houses with wicker furnishings, fireplaces and hillside views.

Galapagos Islands.
"You just see some of the craziest things," said Jonathan Brunger, operations manager for Adventure Life, a Montana company that arranges trips to the region.
"While you're out snorkeling, the sea lions will come out and swim with you. ... You feel a little nibble on the end of your flipper, you turn around and there's this sea lion wanting to play with you, wanting you to chase it.
"Other times, they'll come up to your face and they're looking at their own reflection in your snorkel mask."...
