Eden Project International is developing green attractions across the globe, from Australia to the UK.
The Eden Project is an innovator in the development of green attractions. It first opened its iconic biomes in a disused Cornish clay pit in 2001 and is now one of the most visited attractions in the UK. Eden Project International then launched in 2014, taking both its social and ecological benefits to new locations around the world.
The new Eden Projects focus on the individual challenges that affect each location, such as water, food, biodiversity or soil. Eden Project International has teamed up with a variety of local organisations, companies and communities to create eco-tourism experiences. These are rising in countries across the globe, from South America to Australia.
Eden announced plans to open its first destination in South America during an event at COP26 in Glasgow in 2021. Located at a site in Colombia’s Meta region, the new Eden is in the early stages of development. Eden is working in partnership with the Colombian Ministry of the Environment as well as the Humboldt Institute.
“Colombia is a country of huge natural world riches and is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, as well as having varied cultures and a rich history,” said Eden Project International Chief Executive David Harland. “We relish the opportunity to work in such an incredible environment and look forward to working with our partners to bring the Eden message to South America for the first time at scale.”
Inka Park, a new theme park resort on the coast of Peru, will also feature an Eden Project. Furthermore, in North America, Eden is developing a unique visitor destination and residential hub for Graniteville, South Carolina.
