Oslo Statement on Ecotourism

Oslo Statement on Ecotourism

The Oslo Statement on Ecotourism, as one of the main outcomes of GEC07, lists key questions and challenges addressed at the conference, and spells out the commitment of the ecotourism community to continuously strive to improve our practices. The recommendations of the Statement are based on the workshops and meetings that took place during the conference, and organized around the four main themes and topics of the conference workshops.
