Each trip combines responsible travel with a focus on the traditional, cultural or indigenous arts (dance, music, cuisine and fine arts) at the host destinations. By using this model, EcoArts Tours is able to promote and foster philanthropic and sustainable travel in conjunction with preserving the authenticity of world arts.
The organization will launch their first tour, India EcoArts Tour, which will take place August 31- September 15, 2009. In partnership with Global Exchange and Ecosphere, this trip represents a landmark change in bridging the gap between the arts and sustainable travel. Highlights of the tour include;
