본문내용

Ecotourism developed during the environmental movement in the 1970’s and 1980’s as the public became concerned about the health of the environment.
Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing sectors of the tourism industry because travelers are now seeking educational, cultural and sustainable vacations (Saskatchewan Watershed Authority). In 1990, it was found that only 20% of tourists were travelling for the sun, where as 40% travelled for the experience of culture and ecosystems. This change in travel provides an educational opportunity to tourists (Saskatchewan environmental society).
Ecotourism provides an economic opportunity in areas that have natural beauty and unique cultures. It demands environmental integrity and is meant to maintain ecosystems; which provides longer lasting economic opportunities than the extraction of resources. This new branch of tourism provides economic diversity and avoids single-sector dependence. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining social, economic, and aesthetic needs, while protecting the essential ecological processes and encouraging biological diversity. Ecotourism is a beneficial substitute for unsustainable land use and provides long-term economic development because it ensures natural resources are protected rather than depleted (Saskatchewan environmental society). Ecotourism promotes sustainable development of local economies by demanding that natural resources are conserved, waste is reduced, biodiversity maintained, locals are involved in economic growth and conservation strategies (Weaver, 2001).
