Quotes from the 2002 conference:

"Sustainable tourism preserves the environment and the culture and
increases understanding and appreciation of cultures."

"If you do something, even if it's small, it's a start."
  
   
"We come to life with history."
     
  "We go where we are welcomed."  
"You have to come and see for yourself."    
 
"In Hawaii we live in a stew pot rather than a melting pot.
Our cultural diversity is our strength."
     
"To be successful, find partners who are not doing what you are doing
but who compliment what you are doing."
