ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS

    The project, or the agency partners on behalf of the project, will contract tourist guides who will be equipped with ample documentation about the environmental and local cultural concerns. Booklets and pamphlets will be distributed to the tourists and they will be actively participating in orientation sessions held by the guides via the workshops aiming at a conscious preservation of the local environs, ecological balance, and the local cultures (refraining from any possible breaches of local people’s taboos).

    A positive effect of the anticipated outcomes of the project will be to dilute the overwhelming pressure of tourists on the beaches. Classical perception of holiday resorts supposes a holiday village contiguous to the sea, hotels, discos, marinas, and all the other facilities that pollute the shores and contaminate the waters. Furthermore, hordes of tourists served by irresponsible enterprises cluster to restricted sites with propagated reputation causing extravagant use of the nearby lands and insensitive exploitation of natural resources, as well as the degeneration of indigenous culture. By redirecting the attention of tourists towards the undiscovered tastes of alternative ways of living, and lesser known ways of touring, our project will contribute to the goal of a world worth living by lifting the burden mentioned above, and throughout the further development of an environmental consciousness.
