I had to click through to see the ratings in each category, and they all seemed reasonable to me aside from Canada's low rank for "Adventure". Eco tourism is huge in Canada. People come from all over the world to Canada for outdoor adventure.
Maybe I'm just not a traveler, but that ranking seemed odd to me.
Then again, I don't live in the continuous urban sprawl of Southern Ontario all along the 401 and up the 400. I guess if you live in Toronto, you're like 2+ hours from eco tourism destinations, while, in Europe, 2 hours is enough to have the option to go to several other countries.
I wonder if the ecotourism being seasonal knocks off prospective points. You can only comfortably travel the cannuck wilds for ~5 months out of the year, if that.
Maybe east of the rockies. In BC I have friends that go camping all year long. Our mountains are open all year for activities (skiing, snowboarding, etc. in the winter mountain bike, hike, etc. in the summer). Heck, you can ski, bike, surf all in one day on Vancouver Island if you're so inclined, though it'll be a long ass day.
