GEO-ROUTES / AEGEAN-ROUTES (Eco Tourism & Cultural Expeditions)

Eco-tourism used to describe travel destinations and attractions that minimize the environmental impact of visitors, preserve natural resources and wildlife, and provide cultural awareness for visitors. As such, eco-tourism promotes sustainable travel so that a vacation can be enjoyable, environmentally conscious and empowering for local cultures and hosts.

There are a number of terms categorized under “eco-tourism,” including sustainable and responsible tourism, ecolodges, adventure travel, and cultural tourism. When planning we research guides and activities for their commitment to the environment, cultural awareness, involvement of local people, and the local social and economic impacts of the organization.
