In collaboration with Amazonat
, a small company dealing with ecological tourism in Brazil, VEO has launched its largest project since the creation of the association. The people in charge of Amazonat, wishing to develop nature-oriented tourism, and particularly bird-watching, on a long-term environmentally sustainable base, have called on VEO because of its competence in bird-watching and ecological tourism.
This project meets all the goals of VEO. Indeed, it aims at :
- Training local guides in bird-watching and tourism coherent with environmental concerns.
- Making hotel facilities and services, and in particular the Amazonat Jungle Lodge,more environment-friendly.
- Helping the local economy through sustainable and environmentally friendly projects.
- Making social and local development projects that are in keeping with the protection of natural environment (namely the Amazon region) known to the public.
- Organising bird-watching tours for French speakers in a top-ranking bird-watching place.
