#180 Responsible Tourism Fair

Responsible Tourism Fair in Oaxaca, Mexico
Dates: January 17-30, 2010
http://planeta.wikispaces.com/rtf2010

A group of friends in Oaxaca, Mexico are creating the Responsible Tourism Fair (January 17-30), our 10th event since 2001 and a veritable model of frugality and slow travel.

Visitors have a number of options, including weaver-guided walks in Teotitlán del Valle, photosafaris in public parks and authentic indigenous meals including Caldo de Piedra (Chinanteco), Maatsy (Mixe) and tamales (Zapotec-style). Self-guided treasure hunts asks foodies to try various cheeses, chocolates and mezcal. Australian friends are invited to a special AustraliaNight celebration on Monday, January 25. Photographers are invited to share photos in relevant Flickr Groups with prizes to be awarded at the end of the fair.

If you cannot attend in person, there are many ways to participate.  We are inviting our responsible tourism / slow travel mates to create your own event during this time and share the news via Flickr, Twitter, YouTube and all of the cool toys and and tools of Web 2.0 <http://planeta.wikispaces.com/web2>

Celebrating the Tule Tree

The Tule Tree has the widest girth of any tree on the planet. Look for its family members (Ahuehuetes) on a very slow walk around town.
