About this good practice
From the touristic point of view, our region has a very rich cultural and natural wealth. Castile and Leon and the province of Valladolid have a powerful touristic potential, but clearly untapped potential. Within Valladolid we can find five wine production Denominations of Origin: Ribera del Duero, Cigales, Rueda, Toro and Tierras de León. Besides, Valladolid holds a great importance in landscape, natural and biodiversity terms.
One of our aims is to increase the knowledge about the heritage resources, especially natural resources, to improve their conservation. The more you know something, the more you value it. And once you value heritage you can enjoy it and moreover, you can learn from it. We are experts in environmental education for all ages, especially in rural areas, where we offer workshops and trips to discover their closest environment.
BUTEO found that local involvement is one of the weaknesses to address within the local needs, therefore we want to make alliances and work with small-scale, but high-value, local initiatives.
In the area there isn’t any similar action or enterprise. Eco-wine tourism is our main innovation to promote the enhancement of the touristic offer. Enrichment of the rural areas and support to the increasing activity there are our proposals in order to accomplish the local needs, always on the basis of the cultural, environmental and oenology heritage wealth.
Helping rural areas to grow allows the whole community to develop interest.
