The term Ecotourism is the umbrella name for the types of tourism that focus on natural areas. It is also responsible travel, that conserves the environment and sustains the well-being of local people.
There are two main types of TOURS:
1) NATURE TOURS (e.g. a tour that visits a beach or a wildlife sanctuary)
Ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus on experiencing natural areas.
2) ECO TOURS… (tours which incorporate ALL 4 aspects; Nature, Culture, Environmental & Conservation)
Ecologically sustainable tourism with a primary focus on experiencing natural areas that fosters environmental and cultural understanding, appreciation and conservation….as well as a strong focus on LOCAL operation.
TIES (The International Ecotourism Society) sets out these guidelines very clearly.
