SUSTAINABLE AND SHARED IN COMMON TOURISM IN SOUTH AMERICA
Luckyly it is extended more and more brings back to consciousness of which it is precise to value the enormous importance that the care of our mother has earth in all slopes and the due attention to the delicate balances in which it is sustained. Our survival and the one of the future generations are in game.
Also it is extended the idea that all the human beings inhabit who it comprise of a same fraternal group, and of there the necessity to contribute and to participate in activities of shared in common character with those groups or more underprivileged human groups. In the first place because need they it, and secondly because, we them inhabitants of the first world, needed to give something than we have.
For both reasons Andean Experience it pays a special attention to those restlessness.
The tourism in its massive, conventional and impersonal slope, usually is deeply aggressive with the environment, degrading coasts, I mount, rivers, seas and other many areas of the planet. And that “tourism” the Integra all a chain: from a hotel, a highway, the tour-operator, the Travel agency and the tourist.
For that reason we have chosen to resign to the commercialization of the massive tourism and to bet by a type of respectful tourism with the environment. Customized, in small groups, approaching the nature, practicing the senderismo, photographing animal, making responsible us of our remainders, giving more value to the contemplation of the stars that are on our heads that to the number of them whom our hotel has.
And for that reason we like, and much, to commercialize those projects of circuits and/or lodging of rural tourism of communitarian character, where they are the own local communities in South America, generally of limited resources, the beneficiaries of the same.
To walk walking, or in mule, or to horse, by those ways, to lodge in distant and likeable inns, to eat the local food and to share our time with the people who live there, is an incredible experience, only within reach of those people equipped with a special sensitivity and culture. And if above, they and we can be understood perfectly in Castilian language, more cannot be asked!
Andean experience commercializes some projects of that type, previous analysis of its quality in terms of tourist, human interest and of a minimum and reasonable comfort. Are projects often financed by ONG´s of recognized solution, when not by organizations like the European Commission, private Andinianc $foment Corporation and companies. The property and the management of the routes and the lodgings are into the hands of the Communities or directly in the hands of the farmers of the zone.
