Ecotourism

Ecotourism is environmentally friendly travelling, which usually takes place in areas with attractive nature and landscapes.

The most important features distinguishing ecotourism from other forms of travel include:

• active exploration of areas of outstanding natural and cultural values,
• respect for the harmony of natural ecosystems and the cultural identity of local communities,
• providing financial resources for the effective protection of natural and cultural heritage and the real socio-economic benefits for local people.

This kind of tourism encourages the protection of the natural and cultural environment of visited regions, provided that the person participating in the trip knowingly does not interfere with natural ecosystems, has respect for the surrounding nature and the culture of local people and that person’s travel expenses provide funds for the conservation of nature and for the local economy.

We encourage everyone to try their hand at this style of rest and present on our website travel information to help you. Let the photographs of a trip available in the ”Nature Gallery [PL]” link be an encouragement to this.

Agro-tourism should also be mentioned as tourism practiced in rural areas, consisting of free time spent on farms, where agricultural production and animal husbandry is one of the most important elements.

Agro-tourism is usually conducted in areas attractive to tourists and offering newcomers high recreational values. It is often linked to the practice of various forms of qualified tourism, such as skiing or sailing or mountain hiking, but always natural resources, and communing with nature lie at its base.

Agro-tourism coexists with ecotourism and often corresponds to many of its priorities, and rural households can be a range of accommodation and nutrition facilities for ecotourism. Under the ”Agro-tourism farm offers [PL]” tab, we present links to websites on agro-tourism farms all over the country.
