Answer:
There are a variety of definitions for ecotourism, as there are many different groups that wish to brand the term for their own use. However, a couple of good general definitions cover the concept. The International Ecotourism Society defines ecotourism as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people.” The Australian Commission on Natural Ecotourism Strategy defines it as “nature based tourism that involves education and interpretation of the natural environment and is managed to be ecologically sustainable.”
