Ecotourism is a booming tourist activity, where the visitor's motivation is the observation, learning, interpretation and respectful enjoyment of the natural spaces that a place offers, while contributing to their protection and conservation without generating negative impacts on the environment.

This type of tourism is attracted by natural resources and cultural heritage , promoting the conservation of these spaces and respect for local communities.

Spain, destination for Ecotourism
Spain is the country in the European Union with the largest land area contributed to the Natura 2000 Network, the European ecological network of biodiversity conservation areas and the main poland phone data instrument for the conservation of the natural spaces found there. This is why more and more visitors choose our country as an ecotourism destination, in search of a way of travelling linked to the discovery of local essences, tranquillity and encounter with nature. Traveler magazine indicates that three out of ten international tourists who visited Spain in 2021 took part in nature and ecotourism.

But what characterises these destinations? It is the presence of natural spaces, many of them protected, as the main attraction. In this sense, Spain is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in Europe, with 16 national parks that represent very different landscapes and ecosystems: volcanic, high mountains, with spectacular beaches, maritime and jungle. The natural values ​​that these natural spaces possess are associated with cultural values, such as ethnography, crafts and traditional trades. To highlight them, activities are promoted whose purpose is the interpretation and knowledge of natural resources, contributing to the conservation of the destination's natural spaces through a sustainable ecotourism experience.
