Planeta.com announces the winner of the 2008 Ecotourism Spotlight
Award. For the second year in a row, Ecotourism Laos received the
greatest number of votes.

"Thanks to all for supporting the Ecotourism Laos website and other
great sites listed this year," said Steven Schipani, Senior Advisor of
the Lao National Tourism Administration. "I would also like to thank
Planeta for providing a platform to recognize the Lao Government's
support for ecotourism and its efforts to conserve the country's rich
cultural and natural heritage"

BACKGROUND

Government websites that educate visitors about ecotourism and
responsible travel options are eligible to win Planeta.com's annual
Ecotourism Spotlight Award. 2008 nominees included Laos, Quito and
Bali and Utila.

The award was developed to create incentives for communication,
opportunities for conversation and a reward for participation among
government leaders working toward ecotourism and responsible travel.

"Many tourism officials are figuring out Web 1.0 principles as locals
and visitors are seeking out the Web 2.0 experience," said Planeta.com
founder Ron Mader. "The spotlight award helps nudge government leaders
forward as we give credit to the websites that are leading the pack."

The winner is announced in celebration of World Tourism Day (September
27) as way of spotlighting best practice in responsible travel and
ecotourism.

Voting took place from July 15-August 30. More than 100 people
participated.
