Dear Friends and Creative Thinkers
 
What if we developed a
GLOBAL PEACE TOURISM NETWORK OF TRAVELERS AND HOSTS?
Your participation and creativity are invited!

Picture the following:

1.  Mindful traveler-adventurers traveling the world as mindful travelers. Picture an organization composed of social entrepreneurs mindful travelers staying with and communicating with local hosts facilitated by an umbrella travel web site and thousands of volunteers
 
1.  You and me and all the peace-building people of the world, when we travel, participate in a global network of meeting places, conversations and local small hotels hosts.

Picture an organization composed of social entrepreneurs mindful travelers Picture an umbrella travel web site enabling us to access hospitality centers all over the world.and thousands of volunteers

2. Meetups - World Conversations everywhere
Popularization and fun of meeting and communicating about matters of importance all over the world     World Cafes or similar.  We are talking about a global network of local people with host Inns or cafes which are connected by a huge network of travelers who lodge and meet there.

3. Creating and operating b&b centers. Furnishing, theming and operating local b&b's,   Peaceful World Travel

4.  Construction of b&b meeting places, building the b&bs Habitat for Humanity adds to their "building more than houses,"  the construction of Inns, providing income from thousands of traveler-patrons.  B&b meeting places built in all Grameen locations appropriately situated for tourism
       
5.  Financing for self-employment and for income-generation  Grameen Bank  credit and microcredit" or "microfinance" Grameen adds to their "family of enterprises" small b&b's, increasing local  income generation possibilities and being known in the world

6.  Guide.books educate travelers about participation opportunities.
Informing the public, attracting and educating participants on Mindful Travel  A travel book and web support    Lonely Planet's green pages
 
7. Hospitality Industry reform. Teaching. The hospitality industry redirects tourism by training entrepreneurs and travel agents to make social and environmental goals their motivating force. The hospitality industry and universities train for societal transformation and motivate students to dedicated careers.

Please contact me directly to be a part of this worldwide developing network!

Wonderful Ideas, all!  My concepts and work would be of service in facilitation of your World Cafe concepts to make a difference, plant seeds of peace and prosperity and further the goals of all in service to our world and its peoples.  Please investigate:

The way I see it, memberships in Creativity Cafe (what I call it) has privlidges. You can go for port to port (futuristically speaking) to find a nest of resources and kindred spirits who share similar goals and world views.  How comforting to the traveler to know their images, presentations, portfolios, agenda's calendars, etc. are all available instantly with the CCafe network (or whatever).

I would personally would love to travel and teach digital storytelling and how to use the tools!  I was actually flown from SF to Graz Austria to teach in a castle outfitted with state of the art digital storytelling tools! 

Please keep me posted if any opportunities arise along those lines?

Blessings and Peace,
Peter

Cheers!
