ADVENTOURS has been heavily involved in building professional
associations (tour guides and tour operators), a policy that has led to the
future implementation of guidelines for tour guides and tour operators
through the
Best Practices Committee of the Puerto Rican Association of
Interpretation and Education, Inc. (
APIE).  In October, 2007, Occupational
Standards for Outdoor Nature Guides and Outdoor Adventure Kayak Guides
where developed for the first time.

The members of the Best Practices Committee are representatives of
different federal, state, and municipal agencies, such as:  Forest Service,
Puerto Rico Tourism Company, National Parks Service, Department of
Natural Resources and Environment, Fish and Wildlife Service, Institute of
Puerto Rican Culture, Department of Transportation and Public Works, and
others.

Birding activities, workshops for Tour Guides and Tourism Educators are
coordinated by APIE as part of our commitment and corporate social
responsibility.
