A Small Place on Planet Earth

by

Over at the Cantur San Juan del Sur blog, they’re helping us gear up for Earth Day, by advertising our first ever Earth Day Forum.

We’ll be in San Juan del Sur, “a small place on this wonderful planet Earth, endowed with exceptional and endless beauty” April 22nd and 23rd, making it Nicaragua’s Earth Day headquarters.

The goal of the event is to celebrate the natural beauty of the region and to remind people that our economic growth as a tourist destination depends on the conservation of its natural heritage.

Supporting us in this endeavor are the following organizations and agencies:

  • the Rural Community Tourism Association of Miravalle (ATRUCOM)
  • the Municipal Tourism Commission (Coture)
  • Cantur San Juan del Sur
  • Community Tours Ostional
  • the Environmental Unit Municipality of San Juan del Sur

We’re so pleased with the level of involvement at our community meeting in Ostional, where we have launched an initiative which includes environmental education, a sea turtle incentive payment program, and kayak guides to take eco-tourists through the mangroves.

The Ostional community guides spent the weekend at Las Galerias Mall in Managua to share their story and to promote Ostional as a tourism destination. Guided tours range from bird-watching hikes, to sea-kayaking trips. All guides (first four young women on the left) are young members of the local community. They are proud to know that they will benefit from ecological tourism.
