Dear Miguel,
Hola, I was so surprised to hear from you after such a long time. I trust everything is well with you there in San José. Thank you for your the Christmas card and calendar. It´s hanging on the wall here and I often catch myself daydreaming of hiking through the lush rainforests of Costa Rica.
Actually, the reason I write is to ask for your advice on promoting ecotourism. We're getting serious about developing our own program here in Taiwan. What were the key attributess to your country's success? I feel that through studying best practices while playing to our strengths - good infrastructure, diversity of our ecosystem, etc. - we can replicate the success Costa Rica and other industry leaders have had.
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions and I hope we can continue to correspond on this matter. Maybe we can get you over to Taiwan one of these days? A lot of people would be interested in hearing from the go-to guy to ecotourism.
Best,
Isaac Jón
Hi, Isaac,
Glad to get the note and hear that you are well in Taitung. Let me get right to your questions.
As you know, ecotourism has been a real gold mine for us. It comprises a significant portion of our GDP and a great number of our people earn a living from it. I´d say we owe a lot of our success to the grass roots. Of course there´s the monetary motivation, but at the heart of the ecotourism is the belief that everyone involved - host as well as traveler - is contributing something positive to the environment. I can't stress this point enough. So, before you really start promoting your plan, make sure your people understand the importance of the environment in this venture. Moreover, ecotourists are really savvy - not your typical tourists. So you need to provide them with an atypical experience.
I will attach some brochures we put together for our latest ecotourism campaign for your reference. Also, please pass along my regards to Julia and your colleagues there.
Very respectfuly, (V/R)

Find out how to release your creativity
All of us face problems in the college, at work or at home. Unfortunately, we don't always know how to solve these ones. Our usual solutions may not work in every situation. That's why we need to think creatively. We need to be able to find creative solutions.
Yor may not consider yourself a creative person. But you can still improve you creative thinking. If you can change your thinking patterns, new ideas will emerge. Here below are some ways to boost your creativity.
Obtain Curiosity
Think about things that you do or use every day. Don't take them for granted. Ask, "Why are things done the way they are?" Then think about how they could be done better or differently. Sometimes the best ideas come from combining conventional ones or just modifying them slightly.
Avoid Being Critical at First
When you think of a new idea, write it down - and save it. Don't immediately think, "That idea could never work." Many inventions came from ideas that seemed to be impossible at the time.
Ask "What If"
Our thoughts are based in reality. We know what is true - and what isn't. These thoughts can block creativity. Instead of just accepting what we know is reality, we should ask, "What if these were different?" For instance, "What if those great powers pursue security?" Consequences: There would be a lot more conflicts because they would find that every state has the intention of prevent-striking. Ask "what if" somethimes helps you come up with new ideas.
Daydreaming
Schedule time to relax in your day. Don't try to focus on your thoughts. Just let them go where they will. You may be surprised by the ideas you have.
Take a Break
When you're not making any headway with your porblem, stop working on it. Instead, do something completely different. Then come back to the problem. You'll have a fresh outlook and maybe a new day to slove it.
I am glad to make your acquaintance.
