Eco-tourism
Eco-tourism is when tourists visit natural places to raise money or educate tourists. Wikipedia defines Eco-tourism as “a form of tourism involving visiting fragile, pristine, and relatively undisturbed natural areas, intended as a low-impact and often small scale alternative to standard commercial (mass) tourism. Its purpose may be to educate the traveler, to provide funds for ecological conservation, to directly benefit the economic development and political empowerment of local communities, or to foster respect for different cultures and for human rights. “ Dictionary.com defines Eco-tourism as “tourism to places having unspoiled natural resources, with minimal impact on the environment being a primary concern. “ It is defined by Princeton as “tourism to exotic or threatened ecosystems to observe wildlife or to help preserve nature “ Some general guidelines are that you should prepare yourself for your trio and respect the local traditions. You should also make sure that there is no negative impact on the environment from your trip. I believe that Eco-tourism is a great way to preserve and protect the environment because it teaches tourist about the natural world.
