According to National Geographic´s Center for Sustainable Destinations, “geotourism is defined as “tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place—its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents.” Geotourism incorporates the concept of sustainable tourism—that destinations should remain unspoiled for future generations—while allowing for ways to protect a place's character. Geotourism also takes a principle from its ecotourism cousin,—that tourism revenue should promote conservation—and extends it to culture and history as well, or in other words, all distinctive assets of a place.”
Over the years, Finca Rosa Blanca has worked diligently to become a geotourism destination by participating in the following activities:
-
-
Supporting environmental education efforts in the surrounding community.
-
Providing guests with ample information about local culture and customs in written guest information.
-
Striving to achieve the highest levels of sustainability in its operations and architecture by installing technologies such as solar panels, worm-based composting and chemical free pool cleaning systems.
-
Promoting the concept of sustainable development among its neighbors and local community members.
-
-
And much more!
