Eco-Cultural Tourism

This project endeavored to shed light on lesser-known areas in local communities, which could be of potential tourist interest, particularly from an ecological or cultural perspective. The Eco-Cultural Tourism project involved groups of students from the different countries who created a tourist experience for 1-2 new, or not so well exploited, sites in the community so as to promote ecological or cultural understanding. Groups of 6-10 students from one Asian school and two from European schools participated in the research, formulation of strategies, exchange of information, discussion of improvements, and finalization of the tourist resources for the proposed ecological or cultural sites. The resources created enabled young tourists to better appreciate the ecological and cultural value of these sites.
