Ecotours
Ecotours
Over The Last Few Years The Terms "Ecotours" And "Ecotourism" Have Hit The Travel Industry Like Cholesterol Hit The Food Industry Not Long Ago. Many New Companies Have Sprung Up, Claiming That Their New Ecotours Are Eco-Friendly, And Implying That They Have Pioneered This Type Of Travel. However, Many Tour Companies Have Been Conducting Eco-Sensitive Tours For Years, Without The Eco-Hype.
Ecotours Have Very Low Impact On Environment. Travelers Take Photos And Leave Little More Than Footprints. True Ecotourism Should Insure That The Local Peoples Living Adjacent To Parks And Reserves Benefit Directly From Tourism Is Such A Way That They Have A Positive Incentive To Preserve Wildlife And The Environment; Campfire Projects In Zimbabwe Are Excel¬lent Examples Of This.
