The Saint Lucian branch of GEF-funded project "Mitigating the Threats of Invasive Alien Species in the Insular Caribbean" organized three workshops, during which public-private working groups developed the attached Voluntary Code of Conduct for the Tourism Sector (TS VCoC). The TS VCoC promotes visits to Saint Lucia’s off-shore islands as a unique “edutainment” experience in a safe and clean environment. The TS VCoC provides guidelines for ecologically sound business practices for stakeholders involved in out-door tourism (hoteliers, tour operators, guides, wardens, dive instructors, drivers, watersports, beach and grounds personnel, etc.), with particular emphasis on invasive alien species (IAS). It complements the previously developed Voluntary Code of Conduct for Saint Lucia’s Ornamental Plant Sector (OPS VCoC). Awareness of and compliance with existing laws and regulations is assumed for all those who adopt this TS VCoC. xa.yimg/kq/groups/9817627/1697553600/name/Ornamental%20VCoC%20final.pdf
