.geo and SUSTAINABLE tourism |

Hello! Having recently
heard about SRI's proposal to ICANN to create a .geo domain, I wanted to comment
that I believe that it would be a great tool for: * well-informed and discriminating
travelers that want to select exciting destinations in particular areas, or plan
their trips. As the number of experienced travelers increases, .geo will be an essential
support system for better and wiser traveling. Imagine a combination of an universal
and ever-updating travel guide and a map as detailed as you'd like! It could make
it easier for them to find small- and medium-sized enterprises that may have less
chance of becoming members of mega-Web travel portals. This would also enhance the
distribution of benefits to local populations. It also seems to me that by giving
each posting a geographical reference, we increase the information provider's accountability
and responsibility. * researchers wanting to correlate geo-referenced information
to data on tourism and the environment ( both cultural and natural) - such as UNEP,
for instance. For these reasons, I would like to fully support SRI's proposal,
and look forward to using .geo in the near future. Oliver Hillel Tourism Programme
