AECO promotes best practices among most of the expedition cruise operators who provide tourism to the North Atlantic and High Arctic regions. AECO’s wishes to ensure value and sustainability in the interaction between the operators and their guest, and with the communities visited.

In addition to the general guidelines, some communities want to develop community specific guidelines that provide visitors with community specific information. These guidelines for community-specific guidelines is an inspiration for those who would like to develop their own do’s and don’ts for visitors.
