Sukau Rainforest Lodge, which played host to the Consort of Denmark, Prince Henrik, on his recent visit received yet another recognition recently when it was invited to represent Malaysia to present an ecotourism paper at the forthcoming Asia Pacific Regional Ecotourism Conference, Fiji in April. The paper entitled, “Managing an eco-lodge in an environmentally sensitive area” will be presented by Albert Teo, Managing Director of Borneo Eco Tours. Albert Teo is also member of Board of Advisors of The International Ecotourism Society, TIES which is actively involved with UNEP in organising the various activities during the International Ecotourism Year.
