Guest: Justine Vaz, Executive Director, The Habitat Foundation, Mariam Ghani, Senior Programme Manager, The Habitat Foundation, & Lead, Sustainable Tourism Network Malaysia

Ecotourism offers significant benefits to both people and the planet by promoting responsible travel that conserves the environment, sustains local communities, and fosters cultural appreciation. The Sustainable Tourism Network Malaysia is a platform aimed at fostering responsible travel and supporting operators in adopting more sustainable approaches. We find out more about their work and plans from Justine Vaz, the Executive Director of The Habitat Foundation and Mariam Ghani, a Senior Programme Manager with The Habitat Foundation, and the Lead for the Sustainable Tourism Network Malaysia. We also discuss some hidden ecotourism gems in Malaysia, including the Perlis Geopark, which offers travellers beautiful forests, limestone hills, caves and more.
