Ecotourism is 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 traveller‚ to provide funds forecological conservation‚ to directly benefit the economic development and political empowerment of local communities‚ or to foster respect for different cultures and for human rights. Since the 1980s ecotourism has been considered

After reviewing the simulation on the student website it was determined that one of the microeconomic principles was normative economics. In Colander‚ 2010 the author describes normative economics as the study of what the goals of the economy should be. In the simulation the goals are set for us by the management. Also the concept of utility maximization would apply. As the consumer tries to balance
