Hello Mr. Harris,

I hope all is well. Could you please complete this question on the entry form "Describe some unique tourist experiences that your approach provides. Be specific; give illustrative examples."

Many entrants say that lack of government support is a major barrier to their ability to expand their work. You seem to have been successful in this regard. Do you have any advice?

I know that you entered the 2008 competition. What have you done since the 2008 Change Summit? Are there any new components of your work that you have not yet highlighted in this entry? What's innovative about your work now?

You mention that you would like to partner with other developing nations and community agencies. Have you developed any of these partnerships in the last year?

Lastly, you mention you're launching a massive network of marine and coastal protected areas. How is this project coming along?

Thank you for your responses and I look forward to seeing you soon.
