This month marks the one year anniversary of ecobookers.com. It's been a busy first year, and a fun one, so we’d like to take a little time to reflect on the past 12 months and ask you what you’d like to see in the coming year!

January 2008 – With more accommodation being added all the time, ecobookers now has 100 eco-friendly hotels and ecolodges, all hand-selected for their wide range of eco-policies.
February – April 2008 – The ecobookers site continues to grow and we start work preparing for an exciting new show called UK Aware, which aims to show how easy it is to make your life more eco-friendly.

UK Aware and ecobookers in the press!
The end of the weekend saw the end of ecobookers first show - UK Aware.
After months of planning (and a bit of fear I have to admit!) we spent the weekend in London at the Barbican and had a great time meeting all sorts of eco-aware people visiting the show. We had some fantastic images of beautiful eco-friendly hotels and ecolodges on display which seemed to grab lots of people's imaginations.
All in all it was a great success, thanks in main to my wonderful team of volunteers spent the days getting the ecobookers message out there.
Coinciding with the show we also had a mention in the Guardian on Saturday morning - you can check it out here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2008/may/10/buenosaires.argentina
Now the show's over we'll be back to getting lots more eco-friendly hotels and lodges onto the site!
