Fact: Ah! This is the number one misconception about ecotourism. Majority of the travelers around the world prefer to meet locals, experience the local traditions and cultures of their tourist destination. Most tourist companies try to cash in on this expectation and promise the best opportunities to sink into the local culture and view the natural ecosystem of the place. An ignorant traveler might end up paying an exorbitant price for enjoying something that is naturally available at a tourist destination. Believe me, you can enjoy an eco-tour at an expense as low as $5 a day too.

Myth: Ecotourism hotels are not luxurious!

Fact: Quite often it is assumed that ecotourism involves jungle safaris and staying in tents in some remote corner of the globe. This is because ecotourism is advertised with pictures of tribal people, forests, animal-life and accommodation in tents or tree-houses. Fact is quite the opposite. While an eco-traveler may actually opt to travel in the cheapest possible way, backpacking or on foot, you might not be aware that ecotourism can be luxurious too. There are plenty of luxury hotels that emphasize on ecotourism by giving due respect to carbon footprint, organic food, protection of natural habitat of fauna, avoiding cultural shock to local people and so on.

Myth: Third world countries are the only ecotourism destinations.

Fact: Again a major myth of ecotourism holidays. As a prospective tourist, we believe what we see or presume. However, ecotourism holidays can take place in any part of the world from some remote place in Africa to some highly popular tourist city in Europe or United States.

Myth: Ecotourism means volunteering social work rather than fun-filled holidays

Fact: Of course, you may volunteer to take care of the ecology and culture of the places that you are visiting. Most people opting for ecotourism are nature-lovers who want to help protect the environment and help with water conservation and adaptation of energy-efficient means of traveling. But it is definitely not a mandatory criterion. You may opt for eco-friendly holidays and yet indulge in adventure sports like biking, river rafting, snow skiing, etc. You need to plan the adventures based on the availability of sports facility in the country.

Myth: Ecotourism is meant exclusively for adults

Fact: It is not mentioned anywhere that ecotourism is meant for older people only. In fact, there are plenty of families that take an eco-tour together. Single parents with young or teenage children use ecotourism as an opportunity to teach their children the importance of environment conservation.

Every evening at 8 o’clock, as the darkness settles and the skyline lights up, you get to see one of the most amazing sights of buildings lighting up. The Victoria harbor light show holds the Guinness World Record for being ‘The world’s largest permanent light and sound show’. The best vantage points to witness this spectacle are by the Avenue of Stars and the Cultural center. Another good way to see this is the ‘Symphony of lights’ dinner cruise.

Victoria Peak
You can get the best view of the city from the Victoria peak, if you’re lucky enough. There are two major obstacles to your enjoyment. The first one is the crowd – if you happen to go to the peak during weekends or in the peak season, you’re going to wait in the line for hours together just to get in! The other problem is the obstruction to your view because of the smog. It’s a rare chance for tourists to get to the peak on a cloudless and clear day.

You can make it to the top on a clear day and you’ll realize the effort was worth it. The spots on the peak are a photographer’s delight. The shopping center (yes, a shopping center on the peak) is a fun place to visit too. The funicular tram ride is what tourists all over the world come to Victoria peak for and will swear that it was the best 7 minutes of their trip to Hong Kong.

Avenue of Stars
If you believe Hong Kong to be ‘the Hollywood of the Orient’, then you cannot miss out on this. The place has everything a movie buff can appreciate – a walk of fame dedicated to all the top contributions of the biggest Japanese movie artists, including a huge bronze statue of Bruce Lee. The Avenue of Stars provides one of the best views of the symphony of lights. You can also catch a fireworks show if you happen to be there on special occasions.

Wong Tai Sin Temple
This one is no small-time fortune tellers residence. The Wong Tai Sin Temple is dedicated to Wong Chuping, one of the greatest Taoist fabled to achieve enlightenment. It is said that the temple holds the aura of the most accurate fortune telling you will ever find. Apart from that, the Wong Tai Sin Temple is a real visual treat and a must-visit for everyone.

Ocean Park
Definitely one of the fun things to do in Hong Kong is the Ocean park. If you’re visiting Hong Kong as a family, then you cannot miss out on this little spot of merriment. And yes, there are a lot of fun things to do for the young adult in you too! Things from the Shark Aquarium to the Ocean Theater are real treat to watch. If, in any case, you missed the timing of one show and need to wait for the other, you can just take a ride on the Abyss Turbo drop, a 185-feet vertical ride that gives you the view of the entire park.

The safety begins at the time of packing for your trip. You should be very careful while you are selecting your stuff otherwise you will end up facing some unwanted situations. Here are a few suggestions as to what and how much to carry, what to wear, etc., when your are on your foreign trip.

Money
•Do not ever carry cash more than required. Try to make maximum use of your credit and debit cards.
•Men should keep the cash as well as cards in the front pockets whereas women can use a hand bag tucked under the arm so that no one can reach it without your notice. Use different places to keep the cards to avoid credit card problems like losing them all at once.
•When you reach the hotel put your credit/ debit cards in the main safe of the hotel or in your personal locker in the room.
Jewelry
•Do not allow yourself to be targeted by wearing wrong attention seeking jewelry. Keep all the gold and other precious jewelry at home and wear something light and artificial.
•If you have to carry the expensive jewelry, like when you are attending a wedding, confirm places in your luggage to hide your jewelry.
Dressing
•You might wonder, how can dressing help you stay safe while traveling. But, it actually makes a lot of difference.
•If your plane suffers a hi-jack, you should go unnoticed among all the people. This can only happen when you are dressed in casual wears and dull colors. Slacks and T-shirts will help you move easily in an emergency.
Prescriptions and Documents
•If you are on medications while traveling abroad, carry all the prescriptions and the doctor’s letter with you.
•Ask your doctor to mention the names of the drugs (if any) and their need in your treatment, so there won’t be an issue of those with the flight attendant.
•Share your itinerary with your family members and friends i.e., keep photocopies of your passport, visa and other important documents with your relatives or close friends. They should have all your information in case of emergency.
•Be in touch with them regularly through phone, messages or e-mail, especially when you are traveling alone.

Prospect Lefferts Gardens

Prospect Lefferts Gardens is a residential neighborhood that was settled by a Dutch family in 1660. In 1893 James Lefferts divided the Lefferts estate into 600 building lots which are now known as Lefferts Manor and they were sold to developers. Lefferts made sure that the homes in this area would be notable and made restrictions which required that each home be a single family residence of brick or stone and be at least two stories high. These houses were constructed in the late 19th century. In 1979 the houses in Lefferts Manor were granted landmark status by the New York Landmarks Preservation Commission and in 1992 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Lefferts Manor Historic District.

Prospect Park

Prospect Park is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. This public park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux both of whom also designed New York’s Central Park. Within the park one can find the Long Meadow which consists of 90 acres, the Picnic Houses where you can rent a hall for parties and see the pre-existing house of Edwin Clark Litchfield who was a developer of the area and formerly owned the southern part of the park. It is called Litchfield Villa. Here is also the Prospect Park Zoo which is run by the Wildlife Conservation Society. At the Boathouse by Brooklyn’s only lake (60 acres) is the visitors center and the Audubon Center. In the summer, people come to the park for free outdoor concerts at the Prospect Park Bandshell. If one is into sports the park offers seven baseball fields located in the Long Meadow, the Prospect Park Tennis Center, basketball courts, soccer fields and the New York Petanque Club in the Parade Ground. As if that weren’t enough, there is also a private Society of Friends cemetery on Quaker Hill which is near the ball fields. Actor Montgomery Clift is buried here.
