| Student Elianna Strode and Assistant Professor Leslie Gray examined ecotourism in Trinidad and Tobago - two islands off the coast of Venezuela. |
Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of the international tourist industry, especially in Third-World countries. The idea is, everybody benefits as visitors enjoy natural wonders, the environment is better conserved, and the local economy is richly bolstered. SCU professor Leslie Gray and her three student assistants went to Trinidad and Tobago to see if that’s really what is happening.
