The Balearic Islands government has committed to the use of technological information applied to biodiversity as a way to promote sustainable models. www.AusDeBalers.org is a website aimed at reconciling tourism and biodiversity in natural spaces. Its objective: To promote the Balearic Island’s natural heritage and its associated activities, by encouraging visitors to respect and enjoy the environment. The information on biodiversity is limited to a public minority, due to the fact that it is stored in databases at investigation centres specializing in biology and natural sciences. This however, offers a huge potential to generate and exploit information systems for tourism purposes. These systems can help to reconcile tourism activity at destinations towards the conservation of natural spaces and protection of the environment. As the image shows, this website is based on a contents server, which users or tourists can access via our webpage through a PDA at their hotel, or externally using a wifi-bluetooth connection.
