Sustainability
When traveling with a small-scale project like EcoEndurance, you can trust and see our priorities: visiting local community initiatives, supporting local vendors, and exploring important ecosystems and ways to protect them. From the high mountains to the lowlands, we find happiness moving through nature, appreciating its beauty and offering gratitude to those who have found ways to live in harmony with it rather than destroy it.
We follow the the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) sustainable tourism guidelines:
1) Make optimal use of environmental resources that constitute a key element in tourism development, maintaining essential ecological processes and helping to conserve natural resources and biodiversity.
2) Respect the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities, conserve their built and living cultural heritage and traditional values, and contribute to inter-cultural understanding and tolerance.
3) Ensure viable, long-term economic operations, providing socio-economic benefits to all stakeholders that are fairly distributed, including stable employment and income-earning opportunities and social services to host communities, and contributing to poverty alleviation.
