ECO Certification

The ECO Certification program assures travellers that certified products are backed by a strong, well-managed commitment to sustainable practices and provides high quality nature-based tourism experiences.

Tourism in natural areas that leaves minimal impact on the environment.
Ecotourism
Tourism in natural areas that focuses on optimal resources use, conservation practices and helping local communities.
Advanced Ecotourism
