WHO IS ECOTOURISM KENYA?
Ecotourism Kenya is a non-political civil society organization that was founded in 1996 to promote ecotourism and sustainable tourism practices in Kenya. As a membership organization, Ecotourism Kenya brings together individuals, community based organizations (CBOs) and corporate organizations in a forum where they can discuss the concept of ecotourism and use this knowledge to improve practices in their respective fields. The society’s vision is to be a leader in the knowledge and practice of ecotourism. Its mission is to link communities, tourism and conservation for sustainable tourism development. Current programmes include community outreach, information dissemination and certification & standards (development and dissemination of codes of conduct, guidelines, standards and best practices for sustainable tourism in Kenya).
