NUESTROS PROYECTOS
En el año 2000 Ecotrackers se planteó desarrollar sus proyectos mediante trayectos que permitieran agrupar a las comunidades por un elemento común, el objetivo era aunar los esfuerzos de una comunidad con los esfuerzos de otras para crear paquetes más interesantes y que dieran una mayor comprensión a los visitantes de los que estábamos haciendo y pensando en que podía ser interesante hacer un recorrido en lugar estar en un lugar, así las ventajas desarrolladas por una de las comunidades era el gancho para capturar el turismo hacia las demás , prolongaba la visita de los turistas y repartía los ingresos. La propuesta partía de un Centro de information y estos eran nuestros planes explicados en nuestra página web www.ecotrackers.8m.net
