Marine ecotourism will be at the centerpiece of this year’s 5th World Ecotourism Conference to be held on Feb. 20-22 in Cebu. With the theme, "Marine and Coastal Ecotourism: Oceans of Uncertainties, Waves of Opportunities," the 5th World Ecotourism Conference will discuss the impacts of ecotourism activities linked to the seas such as whale and shark watching, snorkeling, scuba diving and recreational fishing. The conference will also tackle the socio-economic aspects of the industry such as development of destinations, management of marine ecotourism spots, marketing and the elimination of poverty through sustainability.
