    Ecotourism involves traveling responsibly to natural areas in a way that conserves the environment and improves livelihoods of local communities. It follows principles like minimizing environmental impact, raising awareness of local cultures and environments, and providing direct financial benefits to conservation efforts and local people. Examples of ecotourism include ecolodging in natural settings, agrotourism that supports rural farming communities, community-based development projects, and eco treks that involve activities like hiking and birdwatching to appreciate fragile habitats. While ecotourism aims to support environmental protection, large tourist numbers can still negatively impact natural areas if not managed responsibly.

    ECOTOURISM

    ILO. 12
    Laparan, Fheb T.
    Rabina, John Paolo
    Antipino, Gabriel T.
    Definition of Ecotourism

    ECOTOURISM

     Tourism directed toward exotic, often threatened, natural environments,


    especially to support conservation efforts and observe wildlife.
     Ecotourism is: "Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the
    environment and improves the well-being of local people." (TIES, 1990)
    Ecotourism is about uniting conservation, communities, and sustainable
    travel. This means that those who implement and participate in ecotourism
    activities should follow the following ecotourism principles:

     Minimize impact.
     Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect.
     Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts.
     Provide direct financial benefits for conservation.
     Provide financial benefits and empowerment for local people.
     Raise sensitivity to host countries' political, environmental, and social
    climate.
    Types of Ecotourism

    Ecolodging
     Ecolodging involves accommodations that have been built with
    environmental awareness and conscientiousness or that are simply in
    natural settings. Ecolodging options vary greatly, from hotels or hostels
    built with sustainable or alternative materials to "eco resorts" in remote
    locations with access to activities such as bird-watching, sea kayaking
    and tours of local outdoor attractions.
    Agrotourism
     Agrotourism is a type of ecotourism that capitalizes on rural farm
    communities as tourist attractions. Some agrotourism venues serve to
    encourage and protect threatened agrarian communities in
    disadvantaged countries. Others offer demonstration sites for sustainable
    farming methods. Many agrotourism sites offer volunteer opportunities
    and feature the cultivation of animal and plant species well-known in the
    particular region.
    Community Development
     Some ecotourism opportunities focus on protecting the land and
    livelihood of communities threatened by industry, deforestation and other
    byproducts of modernization. Such organizations offer opportunities for
    ecotourists to interact with the local population by planting trees, learning
    local trades or building homes. Community development projects not only
    increase awareness and respect among visitors and locals but also offer
    financial benefits to struggling communities.
    Eco Treks
     Eco treks involve excursions to exotic, endangered or otherwise
    appealing locations. Treks might include rafting, rock climbing, swimming,
    caving, hiking, sailing or bird-watching for the purpose of increasing
    awareness about a particular region and its associated environmental
    threats or habitats worth preserving. Eco trek organizations may or may
    not provide monetary support to the local population.
    Ecotourism Cycle
    Impact of Ecotourism

     One of the greatest joys of traveling is experiencing the unique beauty of


    natural environments all over the world. Unfortunately, when those fragile
    areas start to receive a lot of traffic from tourists, it can negatively impact
    their ecosystems. Ecotourism developed to create an environmentally
    responsible way to visit natural areas. On ecotours, visitors can
    experience and learn about endangered environments while promoting
    their conservation. However, this sector of travel has both pros and cons.
