| Submission declined on 4 April 2024 by DoubleGrazing (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are: Declined by DoubleGrazing 7 months ago.

Comment: Expand article to show why subject is notable. Consider some stronger sources that directly cover the subject in more depth. Lewisguile (talk) 12:23, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Primary sources do not establish notability per WP:ORG, we need to see significant coverage in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and entirely independent of the subject.Also, this reads like it came straight out of the organisation's comms department. Less marketing blurb, more factual description, please. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Global Ecotourism Network (GEN) – is an umbrella not for profit international non-governmental organization that brings together the regional and national ecotourism associations and networks, destinations, private operators, professionals and academics. It aims at providing advocacy, encouraging thought leadership, innovation and add greater authenticity in ecotourism and sustainable tourism..[1][2][3]
History
[edit]GEN is a USA-registered NGO and was founded in 2015. It operates based on a global network of six regional groups: Asia and the Pacific (AEN - Asian Ecotourism Network), Latin America and Caribbean (LACEN - Latin American & Caribbean Ecotourism Network), Africa (AFEN - African Ecotourism Network), North America (NAEN - North American Ecotourism Network), Europe (EEN - European Ecotourism Network), and Middle East (MEEN - Middle Eastern Ecotourism Network)[4][5][6][7][8]. GEN is an umbrella of global regional networks, which links regions and destinations, but also organizations and people with specific interests like community development, conservation and interpretation, interpretative guiding, ecolodges and good business practices[9][10]
Organization focuses on current situations and trends in authentic ecotourism and promotes responsible practices in traditional tourism so as to make it sustainable[11][12]. Some of these practices include indigenous communities empowerment, interpretative methods, climate resiliency, animal welfare, permaculture, eco-friendly planning and design[13][14] etc.
GEN ecotourism definition
[edit]GEN promotes low-impact, social-justice and environment focused tourism. According to GEN "Ecotourism is responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and creates knowledge and understanding through interpretation and education of all involved: visitors, staff and the visited".[15][16][17]
