Eco-Tourism Awards

Grupo Rio da Prata, a leader in eco-tourism and nature conservation in Brazil, has been awarded the prestigious '2024 Eco Amcham Award for Sustainability.' The honor recognizes the organization’s dedication to environmental stewardship, biodiversity protection, and responsible tourism practices. Operating in the ecologically sensitive Bonito region, the group implements a range of conservation strategies, including habitat restoration, water resource protection, and wildlife monitoring. Their tourist operations are designed to minimize impact while maximizing education -- visitors experience preserved ecosystems through carefully guided tours, ensuring low interference with flora and fauna.

Grupo Rio da Prata also works closely with local communities, supporting environmental education programs and sustainable livelihoods. This integrated model has become a benchmark for sustainable tourism in South America. Winning the award brings national visibility to their practices and highlights the growing demand for travel experiences that align with ecological responsibility and social engagement.
