Sustainable Tourism Services (STS)
As one of the fastest growing industries in the world, tourism has a potentially important role in the management of diminishing natural resources and degraded ecological services worldwide. This situation has contributed, in the last years, to the growth of eco-tourism as an alternative to mass tourism preferred by environmentally aware tourists.
Faced with increasing environmental awareness of international organisations, national governments and the general pubic, the elements which characterise eco-tourism today will have to become the fundamental ingredients of the whole tourism industry of tomorrow.
With twenty years of experience in environmental management of marine and coastal resources, Pescares has often encountered the environmental concerns that the tourism industry has to face with increasing frequency.
Pescares takes an open minded approach to tourism consultancy providing a variety of services tailored to specific needs and ensures sustainability through training, community participation and careful analysis of the unique characteristics of every tourism enterprise.
