What is Ecotourism?
Ecotourism, or ecological tourism, is a tourist activity that is carried out without altering the balance of the environment and avoiding damage to nature. It is a trend that seeks to make the tourism industry compatible with ecology.
The demand for ecological tourism has increased as a result of the increase in environmental awareness, but also due to its lower economic cost and the learning about cultures offered by this type of tourism.
Fuerteventura is the top destination for ecotourism in Spain
If there is a destination par excellence that offers ecotourism, that is Fuerteventura. Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2009, it has received numerous awards for coastal environmental quality for sustainable tourism, such as the Quality Coast Gold Award 2012.
Furthermore, it has some of the best hotels in the Canary Islands, ensuring a restful stay on an island also recognised for its light and noise pollution management.
What options does Fuerteventura offer?
Majorata Island allows you to escape from mass tourism and travel to authentic areas where you can enjoy nature, the people and the culture, using your visit to contribute to its sustainable development.
Also, learning about its culinary traditions and local customs is a perfect plan to help protect the native culture of the oldest island of the Canary archipelago, as well as to support the local economy of the area.
