GEN, founded in 2015, operates based on a global network of six regional groups: Asia and the Pacific (AEN - Asian Ecotourism Network), Latin America and Caribbean (LACEN - Latin American & Caribbean Ecotourism Network), Africa (AFEN - African Ecotourism Network), North America (NAEN - North American Ecotourism Network), Europe (EEN - European Ecoto
urism Network), and Middle East (MEEN - Middle Eastern Ecotourism Network)[4][5][6][7][8].
GEN ecotourism definition
GEN promotes low-impact, social-justice and environment focused tourism[9][10][11][12]. According to GEN: "Ecotourism is responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and creates knowledge and understanding through interpretation and education of all involved: visitors, staff and the visited"[13][14][15][16][17].
