Ethical Ecotourism and Garden Education Seminar
by Eric Gonzalez-Payne

Visitors bring money and impact. Both are real and they scale together.
The seminar works because students in the region live with this. Many have seen a place change under tourism, and several will have family working in it, so the positions are not abstract.
The page has the position briefs, seminar protocol, preparation frame and reflection. It also includes their own school garden as a case, since visitors come, and asks whether the same standards they apply to others apply to themselves. That turn is the most useful part of the session.
