Responsible travel to outstanding natural areas that aims to minimise harm to the environment and to benefit nature conservation is called ecotourism. An important pillar of ecotourism is sustainability through reduction of waste and conservation of energy and water. Another key aspect is the educational experience: Visitors learn about environmental and cultural topics of their destination, which fosters awareness and appreciation.

We fund high-quality ecotourism projects where visitors can enjoy places of outstanding nature, without disturbing species and ecosystems. The income generated through our ecotourism projects is put to a good use: It is re-invested into nature conservation and thus drives habitat preservation and wildlife protection. It also covers operating costs of touristic infrastructure like eco-lodges for example. In turn, this creates reliable, long-term employment opportunities for the local population in both the conservation and hospitality sector.

Ecotourism is an excellent way of highlighting the economic importance of intact ecosystems and sustainable practices. It is also a win-win concept: Visitors experience unique places of outstanding natural beauty, local communities have dependable income, and nature is preserved on the long-term!
