In recent years, the many concerns raised by global warming have led many people to take an interest in ecological values that tend to reduce the dangers for the planet.
This global awareness has generated parallel savings despite what is generally known as "better living". This happens, for example by the lifestyle of people, at a time when bio is up to date and vegans people are doing their coming out, travelers have found different ways to combine their pleasure with ecological commitment.
I am going to dissect you, the two forms of "sustainable tourism" most widespread, which are Ecotourism and responsible tourism.
Ecotourism
The concept of ecotourism was born in the 1970s with Gerardo Budowski, in an article entitled "Tourism and Environmental Conservation: Conflict, Coexistence or Symbiosis? "(1976). The latter, considered to be the inventor of the concept, probably did not at that time measure the extent that this vision would one day take. Ecotourism is also called green tourism, the general idea for those who practice it is to make a trip focused on nature and the environment, fauna, flora and different ecosystems are at the heart of this new form of tourism practiced mainly in rural areas and natural environments.
Responsible tourism
The big boom of solidarity tourism, also called responsible or fair tourism, is done in the early 2000s, through associations and collectives fighting for the protection of the environment. His primary vocation is respect. Respect for nature but also for people and their cultures. This way of travel privileges the meeting with the locals, as well as the discovery of their history, rites and traditions, these exchanges are very often full of emotions, make the happiness of the philanthropists.
During my various reasearch for MyAfryka Voyages, I noticed that these experiences, which have long been considered as alternatives, are becoming more and more famous. Travelers in search of authenticity want to get involved on the ground. creating projects to improve the living conditions of the communities visited.
This impetus of humanity but especially of responsibility towards the planet and its inhabitants touched me a lot, that is the reason why I decided at my level to include this part to the offers of MyAfryka Voyages.
The Art and Culture Travel Pack is designed to meet the expectations of history, art and culture lovers who really want to interact with other populations, I must admit it is my favorite offer, and the more surprising in this adventure is that by going to meet the unknown, we often end up discovering ourselves in the eyes of others.
