"Making Travelers' Philanthropy Work for Development, Business, and Conservation” was the theme of the international conference organized by the Center on Ecotourism and Sustainable Development (CESD), a nonprofit research institution based in Washington D.C and at Stanford University.
By bringing participants together in Arusha, Tanzania, December 3-5, 2008, CESD aspired to promote and strengthen this emerging form of development assistance generated by travelers and the tourism industry.
