It's everybody's dream...

To visit a place that has not been 'discovered' nor exploited. Whether the minions are 'eco friendly' or bent on a zillion cruise liners visiting. I think we'd all like to see it remain much like it is.
I recall the old films of Costeau visiting Cozumel in the 60's. I visit and dive it regularly but the tree huggers and multitudes of tourists have wreaked havoc. [I know, I'm just another tourist ] But, I think that always happens when you have too many people congested in a given area.
