101 Conseils pour le Tourisme Durable

• 1. Promouvoir les Prix Ecotourisme et les principes de l'Ecotourisme.
• 2. Offrir des conseils faciles à suivre qui nous assurent non seulement d'économiser de l'énergie et des ressources, mais de créer une planète plus propre et plus écologique pour nos enfants.

A l’issue de la déclaration de 2002 comme l’Année de l’Ecotourisme et des Montagnes par les Nations Unies, le Skål International a lancé les Prix Ecotourisme cette même année, en vue de mettre en évidence et de reconnaître les meilleures pratiques dans le monde entier.

Le Skål, en tant qu’organisation internationale de leaders de l’industrie, est une force puissante au sein de l’industrie des voyages et du tourisme pour introduire des changements et animer à la conservation de l’environnement en vue de promouvoir le tourisme et les voyages.

Les prix qui se présentent sur cette base, en plus de reconnaître les meilleures pratiques touristiques sur tout le globe, ont aussi le but de mettre au courant tout le monde de ce nouveau concept qui accentue l’importance de l’interaction physique, culturelle et sociale de l'environnement, la responsabilité du voyageur et le besoin d'une participation active de la communauté dans l’Ecotourisme.
