		+	* It contains educational and interpretation features.
		+	* It is generally, but not exclusively organised by specialised tour operators for small groups. Service provider partners at the destinations tend to be small, locally owned businesses.
		+	* It minimises negative impacts upon the natural and socio-cultural environment.

		+	* Generating economic benefits for host communities, organisations and authorities managing natural areas with conservation purposes;
		+	* Providing alternative employment and income opportunities for local communities;
		+	* Increasing awareness towards the conservation of natural and cultural assets, both amoung locals and tourists.
