The new eco-tourism industry will counter the current trend of the “tourist experience�. In the current model, tourists usually lodge in static hotel rooms and spend a great deal of their trip traveling back and forth to specific, designated sites assigned for visitors. Today's traveler wants to experience more than just that. The new model proposes a dynamic system of vehicles that move and spread throughout the landscape. These vehicles will serve as hotel suites to the guests, but can also navigate through the national parks without damaging the landscape. Rather than imposing on the wildlife, the "mobile hotel rooms" become part of the landscape and "live" as a species amongst the other organisms.
