		<description><![CDATA[Ecuador has been in all three editions of The World&#8217;s Cheapest Destinations book and is a backpacker favorite for good reason.

		<description><![CDATA[
Once a place becomes a pariah destination, it&#8217;s pretty hard to dig out of that hole. Blame it on sensationalist cable TV or our brain&#8217;s constant search for patterns and shortcuts, but once war-torn regions stay that way in people&#8217;s minds even after a decade of peace.
There&#8217;s a great piece on this subject on MSNBC.com [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple weeks ago I went to a conference attended by a bunch of U.S. and Canadian tourism bureaus.  I asked most of them I met with, &#8220;What can a weekend visitor do for cheap in your city?&#8221; The St. Louis rep didn&#8217;t miss a beat.
