What is eco-tourism?
Eco-tourism or ecological tourism appeals to the
ecologically and socially conscious. It typically
involves traveling to destinations where the cultural
heritage of the region is the primary attraction.

Eco-tourism focuses on promoting local culture,
encouraging wilderness adventures and learning
new ways to live on the planet. Responsible eco-tourism minimizes the adverse effects of traditional tourism on the natural environment, and enhances the cultural integrity of local people. In addition,
eco-tourism will promote re-cycling, energy
efficiency, water reuse, hygiene and better health
practices for the local communities.
