Dissemination activity of our KA229 project:
- 50 students from our school and 3 teachers (not only the ones included in the Erasmus+ project) participated in a trip to the Natural Park "Hoces del Río Duratón". During the trip, the students who participate in the project taught the rest of the students what they had learnt in their previously work done (worksheets about flora, fauna in the Park and Project Libera). This way, the impact of the project is higher and those students who don't participate in the program have the opportunity to learn about its results as well.

WHAT IS ECO-FRIENDLY TOURISM?
When we talk about eco-friendly or sustainable tourism, we refer to the kind of tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities.
​
Tourism can involve primary transportation to the general location, local transportation, accommodations, entertainment, recreation, nourishment and shopping. There is now broad consensus that tourism development should be sustainable; however, the question of how to achieve this remains an object of debate.
COVID-19 AND TOURISM
The outlook for the tourism sector remains highly uncertain. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to hit hard, with international tourism expected to decrease by around 80% in 2021.
Domestic tourism is helping to soften the blow, at least partially, and governments have taken impressive immediate action to restore and re-activate the sector, while protecting jobs and businesses.
Many countries are also now developing measures to build a more resilient tourism economy post COVID-19. These include preparing plans to support the sustainable recovery of tourism, promoting the digital transition and move to a greener tourism system, and rethinking tourism for the future.
