Best practice in the natural environment
Visit information desks
Having information about the places we can visit, the routes we can take and the regulations we must follow will help us fully enjoy the natural areas we visit. We can obtain all these tips in the information desks. People working there will provide us with all the needed info. Ask for advice and guidance!
Problems it can cause
If we don’t have enough information about the area we want to visit, we may easily miss out on spectacular places we would like to explore. Visiting information centres and points help us to discover the most remarkable features of the area, tailored to our needs and interests, through reliable, high-quality information provided by local experts.
Additionally, they will help gain the necessary knowledge to follow Best Practices during our visit, and thus avoid any negative impacts of human presence on the area’s value.
Best practices
To enhance your visit experience in a natural area:
- Visit information points and centres and consult the staff for any questions you may have.
- Follow the recommendations provided by the information points.
- In addition to visiting the information points, also make sure you have the basic information that will allow you to enjoy your visit, such as the weather forecast.
- If you also need guiding and/or interpretation services, information points can put you in touch with accredited local guides and interpreters in the natural area.
