What is Ecotourism?

The term “ecotourism” seems to have a different definition for everyone. While the details vary, most definitions of ecotourism boil down to a special form of tourism that meets three criteria:

  1. It provides for conservation measures;
  2. It includes meaningful community participation;
  3. It is profitable and can sustain itself.

We need to pay special attention to the consequences of ecotourism—some of which are negative impacts to both local cultures and the environment.

Please let me hear from you about what you think should be the responsibilities of professionals who work in the area of Ecotourism.
