ECOTOURISM. Ecological Tourism exposes visitors to local culture, wilderness adventures, volunteering, personal growth, and learning new ways to live on the Earth.
Ecotourism includes programs that minimize the negative aspects of conventional tourism on the environment, and enhance the cultural integrity of local people. Therefore, in addition to evaluating environmental and cultural factors, an integral part of ecotourism is in the promotion of recycling, energy efficiency, water conservation, and creation of economic opportunities for the local communities.
