Ecotourism is based on the main principle of the Rio de Janeiro Declaration about Development and Environment. It stimulates a positive holiday formula for visited lands, with a low environmental and cultural impact, that favours, from a socioeconomic point of view, the participation of local people. The concept of tourism that is held invites to travel and visit natural areas, to enjoy, appreciate and study its attractions (landscapes, flora, fauna) and the cultural manifestations. It also implyes becoming aware of the human steps and the deadly trace we leave in the beaches: nylon bags, all kind of plastics left in the shore which area carried to the sea by the wind or the tide, where it can be wandering for several years without decomposing.
