Community-Based Tourism

When tourism is directly associated with conservation units, the balance between maximizing the quality of the visitor experience and minimizing the negative environmental effects of this activity become important.

::fulltext::

The lower Rio Negro has characteristics that make it a tourism magnet in Amazonas State. These characteristics include the scenic beauty of the black water rivers, conservation areas in excellent state of conservation, beautiful natural beaches created during low river seasons, accommodation in the region’s cities and hotel and airport infrastructure in the city of Manaus.

Community-Based Tourism in the Lower Rio Negro has been an IPÊ initiative since 2003. The focus of this project is the regulation of tourism activities that integrate conservation interests with those of regional development. To this end, our actions involve partnerships with local governments, the tourism trade and the community.

Our efforts with the local public sector aim to improve tourism and management of the region’s natural attractions. This directly involves institutions responsible for conservation units. Several assisted in the development of initiatives: the Public Use Plan benefited from the involvement of the Tupé Sustainable Development Reserve, ICMBIO contributed to the elaboration of the Emergency Public Use Plan for Anavilhanas National Park and the elaboration of a business plan for visitors to the Rio Negro State Park–North and South Sectors.

Complementary activities in the project involve tourism representatives in regulating tourism activities. Project members participate in several local initiatives, such as the creation of a code of conduct for visitors to conservation units and training activities for organizations in these areas (travel agencies, guides, canoers, boat owners, and jungle hotels).

Community involvement in biodiversity conservation is reached through various IPÊ projects in the region. In relation to tourism, the Project seeks to identify and involve communities where these activities already exist in nascent form. Here, Project initiatives are directed to supporting, planning and training communities in economic activities related to hosting tourists and visitors. Other endeavors include: training for production of folk-art and regional cuisine, exchanges of experience between communities, short courses to train local guides and use of environmental interpretation in forest trails.
