The Ecotourism Observatory in Spain is a tool promoted in 2017 by the Ecotourism Association in Spain, with the support and financing of the Secretary of State for Tourism, to better understand the profile and consumption habits of ecotourist travelers (demand) and the type of tourism service companies (offer) that make up the Ecotourism product in Spain and obtain relevant data about the importance of the sector, especially for the economy of protected spaces and their area of ​​socioeconomic influence.

The Ecotourism Observatory, which has been collecting data since 2018, is based on 3 survey models:

A demand survey, aimed at travelers who have stayed or have contracted a guided activity with one of the companies that are members of the Ecotourism in Spain product club and collaborators of the Observatory.
A survey for entrepreneurs, specifically aimed at companies that are members of the Ecotourism product club in Spain.
A survey for tourism managers of destinations participating in the Ecotourism product club in Spain.

Promotion #IamEcotourist

Linked to the Ecotourism Observatory, the #SoyEcoturista campaign is developed, a promotion in which travelers who respond to the demand questionnaire, invited by one of the companies attached to the Ecotourism product club in Spain (I am Ecoturista) and collaborators of the Observatory, participate automatically in the draw for a getaway for 2 people to one of the participating destinations.
