Ecology, economy and tourism

The concept of supernatural spirituality is never emancipatory, I like natural spirituality and societies that deliver the ecology of freedom. But when will these societies be realized? If it ever happens, I do not think I will ever see them.
Tourism provides one of the biggest economic sectors in the world. A country like Cuba for example has become very much dependent of tourism, the trade boycott of the US has played an important role in that.
Switzerland, Austria and Germany have 'the most attractive environments for developing the travel and tourism industry', according to the third annual Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report, published by the World Economic Forum this year. Among the top ten, France (4), Canada (5), Sweden (7) and the United States (8th place) post 'improvements'.
