Description: Despite a global recession, statistics show that just 11% of Brits will go without a holiday next year, whether it be an overseas trip or a 'staycation' here in Britain. More and more travellers are opting for 'voluntourism' or 'ecotourism' trips, yet the ethics of this 'greener travel' are also being brought into question.
