Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  


Bocas Tourism Sustainable Alliance is a Destination Management Organization composed of Bocas many tourism-based enterprises to supports the local marketing and to promote the destination for international tourism.


Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 


Tourism having grown over 70% in the past decade in Bocas del Toro, unplanned tourism development is placing tremendous pressure on the area's natural resources.

Without addressing the threats from unsustainable tourism development and creating a sustainable alternative, Bocas del Toro risks losing its pristine environment, which is the area's main attraction and principle reason why tourists visit the archipelago. Adopting Sustainable Tourism and Geotourism as a tourism development strategy is the first step to ensuring a sustainable future for Bocas del Toro.

Sustainable tourism preserves what is existing in the region while Geotourism supports this effort by further enhancing the "sense or place" and, where applicable, bringing back lost traditions and ecosystems.

To promote his work is associated to Tucaya Panama Tour's operator.
