Eco-tourism is a type of responsible travel to natural areas that aims to conserve the environment and improve the well-being of local people. It involves visiting places with rich natural beauty and biodiversity while minimizing negative impacts on the environment and local communities. Ecotourism emphasizes the importance of respecting local cultures and traditions, contributing to conservation efforts, and educating travellers about the importance of protecting natural resources. It supports sustainable development by providing economic benefits to local communities, promoting conservation, and enhancing the traveller’s experience through education and cultural exchange.
