Welcome to 'Green Tourism' Learning Circle
Students from various countries will learn about the role of green tourism in
helping to promote awareness about conserving nature for the benefit of
mankind in a world faced with climate change. They will collaborate and share
perspectives about places and tourism education through using computer
software and a shared wikispace. In doing so, students will also learn about
nature, heritage and the cultures in these different countries.
Goals of 'Green Tourism' Project

1. to learn about green tourism and to promote it to the local and international
community.
2. to build and develop a sense of love for nature and social responsibilities

3. to learn about nature, heritage and cultures of countries around the world
4. to specifically promote green tourism in line with ‘Visit Perak Year 2012’
