TURISMO CONSCIENTE Es Amar La Vida El turismo consciente es una experiencia de vida transformadora que genera un crecimiento personal que nos convierte en mejores seres humanos. Este nuevo concepto se sustenta en los principios de sostenibilidad y ética y promueve los valores de la paz, la amistad, el respeto y el amor a la vida como la esencia de la práctica turística. Constituye un pacto de convivencia, responsabilidad, respeto mutuo y comunión entre los agentes turísticos de las comunidades emisoras y receptoras, el turista y el patrimonio natural y cultural. El turismo consciente es un concepto vivo, dinámico y en constante construcción. Es una experiencia del dar y recibir. Desde el cráter del Volcán Pululahua, ubicado en la Mitad del Mundo, en el Ecuador, se abre este proceso de reflexión sobre el turismo consciente y su conceptualización. 27 de junio de 2011. http://www.turismo.gob.ec/index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=818&Itemid=146

Celebrations

 * Sep 26** Día de la Bandera Nacional

**Recent Events**
 * April 27-30, 2015 ** Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference (Quito)

Comments from Andy: Maybe as the Conference approaches there is a move to jump on the bandwagon so that you don't feel left out. Yet this same bandwagon can feel like a steamroller plowing over individuality, sincerity and passion for a cause. Maybe somebody should edit what I write. Maybe I never liked mainstream tourism, maybe I never liked mainstream society. Maybe participating means that my voice can effect the steamroller. Maybe it all costs money and can be prohibitive to communities and start-ups.
