<p><a href="http://www.stipa-estudiosambientales.es">STIPA Consultancy&Ecotourism</a> with the <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/gdelaftedeval">Superior Institute of Environment</a> present the second edition of the course "Ecotourism: Design and Marketing Products".<br/> <br/> In the last decade, Spain has begun to speak more and more often the concept of "ecotourism". Tourism that aims to be a memorable experience for discovering and knowing the most valuable natural places. Therefore, ecotourism allows a personal contact with natural and cultural heritage in each destiny; as well as to expanding and enriching the way of thinking from visitors and locals.</p>
<p>We have a high potential in Spain, which is the higher diverse of natural areas, as well as a key role in Europe by its biodiversity. Ecotourism can be an activity that serves to preserve these natural and protected areas, understood as a tool that supports jobs and local economies and as a way to engage tourism stakeholders developing conservation initiatives. But one of the biggest weaknesses of many territories and local businesses is their lack of attractive tourism products. This situation does not help to have any chance of competitiveness and differentiation in a tourist market that trends to diversification and specialization in sustainability.</p>
