Eco Travel options are based on 3 pillars of sustainability:
Culture, Conservation, and Contribution
Culture
Travel is an opportunity to learn about the culture of another country.
Eco Tourism includes cultural activities which showcases food, art, language and life of indigenous peoples.
Conservation
The pillar of conservation means protecting land and marine areas, plants and animals.
for the conservation of both plants and animals.
Contribution
Eco Tourism partners ensure that guests visiting a region is an economic benefit to the community.
Making sure we tread softly while visiting other countries is becoming more important for many travellers!
