This guide is pretty foolish. There is no such thing as an "eco-holiday" if you are flying. Consider this senario: you fly from London to India for an "eco-tour" which promises you that you will be staying in tree top houses, that it is all sustainable and that your cash goes into the local economy etc. If you have taken a return flight to India you have just released 1.5 tonnes of CO2. Roughly the same amount as is released by driving an 4x4 for 15000 miles. The only eco-holiday is one that involves staying in the UK or getting the ferry to France.
