Light Visions (founded in 2000), provides
ecotourism holidays for individuals and groups
who are seeking a low-impact holiday, active contact
with nature and inspiration for a greener way
of living.
What is ecotourism?
The International Ecotourism Society defines
ecotourism as:
"responsible travel to natural areas that
conserves the environment and improves the welfare
of local people".
The World Conservation Union adds that ecotourism
"promotes conservation, has low visitor impact...
to relatively undisturbed natural areas."
Our goal is to provide a healthy balance
of fun, nature and ecological information
for people of all ages and races.
How are Light Visions holidays genuine
ecotourism?
Light Visions understands that a holiday should
be a positive, fun experience which is also sensitive
to tourism's impact on the environment. We dedicate
part of our holiday program to environmental
and ecological learning, so that our
groups understand the facts. We additionally ensure
that our ecotourists can take part in
beneficial ecological activities such as participation
in beach-cleaning and recycling shelp offset their
carbon emissions from travel to the holiday destination.

us for more info.
The destinations for our events and holidays
are chosen for their natural settings, their provision
of ecological information, support for local community
and green businesses, and suitability for carrying
out our holisitic activities. See Venues
for more info.
Our ecotourists are encouraged to use other methods
of transport instead of flying to our destinations,
and we provide links to recommended carbon-offset
schemes for those who do choose to fly. A must
is a visit to ecofriendlytourist.com,
the user-friendly guide to green holidays for
more on these recommended schemes and organisations.
Light Visions is proud to be in partnership with
the ecological initiative, Greenheart

for the Future. This provides us
with a solid platform and an invaluble knowledge-base
of ecological projects gained from more than 15
years of working on green issues and campaigning
in Ibiza and beyond.
