Knowledge Networking Portal for Sustainable & Responsible Tourism
CANAECO hosted the First International Conference: Planet, People, Peace:
P3, in October 2009, in Costa Rica, with the participation of over 200
people from Bhutan, United States, Japan and Central America, joined by
the Costa Rican tourism sector. This conference brought together
national and international leaders in responsible tourism, thus
presenting multiple sustainability policies and achievements for the
future of sustainable tourism. It was the platform on which Costa Rica
showed other countries the important role and leadership it has assumed
in sustainable tourism and it was used as a tool to facilitate change in
the definition of sustainable tourism in the world. Costa Rica
continually demonstrates its leadership by being one of the more
advanced responsible tourism destinations, not only regionally but also
internationally, acting as a model for any country wishing to implement a
real development of this tourism. Costa Rica also managed to provide
evidence that tourists continue to increase their concern about these
matters, and what governments, corporations and organizations should
comprehend is that tourists are consistently choosing tourist
destinations using these models of sustainability. As a result, the
conference reinforced the model that Costa Rica has innovated, creating a
responsible destination where tourists can contribute to solutions and
sustainable tourism.
As a result of the great success that we experienced in 2009
with the First International Conference, Planet, People, Peace, CANAECO
has decided to host this important event again in 2010 with The Second
International Conference; Planet, People, Peace, II.
