sustainability
This itinerary has an ecological footprint of around 0.078 gha per tourist. The main driver for the ecological footprint of the package is the accommodation, while all other categories show a footprint considerably lower than the MEET average.
Using the MEET model, the park was able to significantly reduce the environmental impact of the experience. As well as ensuring that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are reflected in the supply chain of the ecotourism itinerary itself by introducing additional training hours for local workers and sustainably conscious criteria for suppliers.
Organising the experience around the nature reserve itself allows visitors to get a true sense of local culture, nature and traditions.
