[Audio] . What is eco tourism ?. The world tourism organization defines eco tourism as :nature –based forms of tourism in which the main motivation of the tourists is t he observation and appreciation of nature as well as the traditional cultures prevailing in natural areas ..

Types of Ecotourism. According to Fennell, Ecotourism exists with two vast types of tourism; such as : Mass Tourism: Alternative Tourism:.

Mass Tourism. Mass tourism is Conventional, Standard, Large-scale Tourism. It is a traditional tourism system where income increment is the main motive by short-term, free-market principles. Mass tourism can be measured in terms of employment and infrastructural earning from transportation and also foreign exchange earnings. Mass tourism has both benefits and demerits. And for limiting those downsides, we have to choose an alternative means of tourism..

smAlternative Tourism. Alternative tourism is the complementary approach to tourism and becomes a better option than mass tourism. According to Fennell: “Alternative tourism is a generic term that encompasses a whole range of tourism strategies (e.g., appropriate, eco, soft, responsible, people to people and green tourism) all of which purport to offer a more benign alternative to conventional mass tourism in certain types of destination.” If we observe the alternative tourism in a closer look, we’ll get its five subdivisions:.

Cultural: Cultural tourism is a type of tourism where people explore certain places to learn the cultural production and attraction . Educational : When you tend to visit a place for learning the different aspects for acquiring knowledge and collecting evidence for any research project, that type of tourism is known as educational tourism ..

Scientific : Scientific tourism means visiting a place for any scientific knowledge acquisition. Here students tend to visit universities, museums, laboratories, etc., to collect knowledge about the research facilities and scope of learning and working in a particular institute or industry . Adventure: Adventure tourism is a kind of tourism where you explore and experience different adventures or risk full activities. For example, sky diving, scuba diving, hiking, trekking, snorkeling, bungee jumping, bamboo rafting, rock climbing, etc. People plan such types of trips to remove their fears and to rush some adrenaline and endorphins..

Agri-tourism : Agri-tourism is another great way to explore and experience nature. We visit agricultural fields, vineyards or grape yards, farms, etc., to learn more about the overall process of food production. These can be considered as actual types of ecotourism as this helps to study and understand why ecotourism is important and helps to minimize the environmental impact of mass tourism..

Components of Ecotourism :. biodiversity : Th It helps to conserve e major purpose of ecotourism is to protect our biodiversity from human interaction. Provides an understanding or educational experience: Like any other type of tourism, ecotourism also allows the tourists or explorers to gain mass knowledge of cultures, processes, traditions, history, beauty, and other facts about the destination they visit. However, unlike other types of tourism, ecotourism helps you learn the environmental aspects of tourism, which ultimately makes them responsible for nature. Small groups can stand with their small businesses by ecotourism: It’s a great opportunity for local people to generate some earning opportunities from the visitors and supply their warm hospitality. Further, some small businesses get some chances to expand their business without harming nature..

It does the welfare of local communities: Local communities get a great chance to interact with social events and teaching these to the visitors. It creates some additional living opportunities for them. Give a chance to become a more responsible tourist: Eco-friendly tourism teaches you how to take care of and respect the beauty of a destination. That ultimately helps us to be sensible and responsible human beings. It helps in sustainable development: Another component or principle of ecotourism is to diminish non-renewal resources by either walking or using any other media of transportation. This takes us towards the fulfillment of our sustainable development goals . Participation opportunity for rural people: In rural tourist destinations, the people nearby get the chance to teach about different aspects of the type of tourism. It’s best for agro-tourism as they have the most experience and knowledge about raising the crops and converting them into our regular usable food materials.

What Are the Benefits of Ecotourism for Local Communities?.

The Negative Impact of Ecotourism :. Positives and negatives are mirror images of each other, so if there are some advantages, there must be some disadvantages to everything. Therefore, let’s talk about the negative side of ecotourism. The limitations of ecotourism include; Relocation of locals. Environmental degradation . It becomes a threat to indigenous cultures. Travel impacts on the environment. The integrity of the ecotourism organization. Disturbance to ecosystem. Habitat fragmentation..

What Are Some Examples of Ecotourism?. There are lots of examples of ecotourism that can explain it better. Here we are describing two of the famous worldwide ecotourism examples below;.

C osta Rica : Costa Rica is the most popular ecotourism spot in this world. Every year lots of tourists visit this place because of its natural beauty. Costa Rica is situated in southern American countries with coastlines on both the Caribbean and Pacific, which is almost a one-fourth rainforest and is an excellent place for travelers who want mental peace. Costa Rica has spectacular biodiversity and volcanos and pristine beaches, which makes it the most eco-friendly place on this planet ..

Norway : Norway is the most beautiful and natural country to visit, and the Norwegian Fjords is the best place within this country. This nation’s culture and sustainable living promote us to care for our mother nature and teaches us to conserve it. Further, the government regulates fishing, hunting, and drilling in this area for eco-friendly tourism ..

Conc lu sion. Many tourists prefer eco-friendly tourism because it helps us to maintain a balance of tourism’s impact on the environment. These tourism options also provide the same services as those that other types of tourism provide. You can count on during your travel to be able to see wildlife and local communities very carefully, but that is not all. If you are interested in eco-friendly tours and travel, it is good to find out more about where the best ones are located with a lot of learning experiences ..
