The Eco-Experience of World Arts
In addition to responsible travel, the other major component is experiencing, learning and supporting world arts - dance, music, cuisine and fine arts. In many art forms around the world, art and nature are interconnected. By combining art with ecotourism, this provides a great way for participants to understand the cultural aspects of dance as related to the natural world and vice versa. The arts are also used to break down personal and cultural barriers which enhances a deeper understanding and respect amongst travelers and locals.
Principles of a world arts eco-experience
- Elicit the place of the arts in human life
- Instill appreciation and support for the arts as a valuable and integral part of life, the economy and society
- Provide greater understanding of cultural studies of the arts and their relationship with the natural environment
- Expand cultural exchanges, using the arts as a tool for peace and understanding

Artist Statement ~
I believe if more of us could contact the natural world in a directly experiential way, this would alter the way we treat our environment, ourselves and one another.
