The foundation for EcoArts Tours is responsible travel.
As defined by The Center for Responsible Travel (CREST),
Responsible travel is a development and conservation tool that has the potential to address some of the most complex social and environmental issues of our times. Responsible tourism includes many types of travel, all of which aim to minimize tourism's negative impacts on the environment, and maximize the positive contributions tourism can make to local communities. Traveling responsibly is not about making sacrifices, stopping development, or staying at home. It is about designing tourism programs and individual trips carefully, to provide travelers with the experience they seek, while leaving a positive footprint at their destination.
