Galapagos Islands are seeking advice on sustainable tourism. And consumers are becoming more and more conscious about the environmental and social impacts of their purchasing.
For this reason, IGTOA is taking part in a program to develop Sustainable Tourism Baseline Criteria, in partnership with Rainforest Alliance, and organizations like the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), and the World Conservation Union (IUCNP.
During the month of January a series of consultation activities is taking place with key representatives from the private sector around the world. The main product of this effort will be baseline international criteria for sustainable tourism. This will help IGTOA members to create state of the art operations in the Galapagos Islands
My Travel:Imagine a place where Galapagos Islands animals are not afraid of people, a place where birds like Galapagos Finches, don not fly away when you approach them, where giant Galapagos tortoises bob heads to strangers where sea lions bark, greetings to visitors on the beach rather than scramble away to the surf. These are just some of the surprises awaiting visitors into the Galapagos Islands; as well know as the "Enchanted Islands", well I can do it, in my last cruise to the Galapagos Islands

Practice a sustainable tourism in Galapagos Islands is very important for it's conservation because this natural paradise is susceptible to damage. A mandatory fulfillment of this conservancy programs are always good for the islands. Also, tourists can be sure when coming to visit the Galapagos, they are making sustainable tourism and helping to the islands conservation.
Yes, but the best way to make a great and responsable tourism in the Galapagos islands is if you contract an great company or a company who is the yacht owner. For example some french friends take a cruise in the Galapagos by galasam . com and they have a great experience, but a frien of germany who take a cruise in a tourist class yacht have a bad experience, bad food, and he can not make dive.
