This project was extremely important for our school, because it allowed to promote a new concept within tourism, the “ECOTOURISM”. Tourism is one of the main activities of the country and one of the sectors of economic activity that creates more jobs.
Our small village, Arcos de Valdevez, where our school is situated, enjoys natural conditions for the practice of ECOTOURISM. Arcos de Valdevez is one of the five villages with territory in the only national park in the country and considered a world biosphere reserve by UNESCO
