AbstractEnvironmental Conservation and Community Economic Development: A Business Plan Track: Humanitarian Affairs and International Development Author(s): Debra Kinsinger Come aboard a multimedia Virtual Voyage and discover how Community Development Associations in the Bahamas are collaborating with government to map a sustainable future. Tourism in the Bahamas relies on its beautiful environment, abundant fisheries, and clean water, yet the demand for resources to support tourism can easily degrade those same values. The Bahamas has booked passage across the digital divide to access a marketplace that does not necessarily rely on depletion of natural resources for sustainability. Discover the role of GIS in marketing, education, and environment as radio, television, and the Internet converge into "new media."
