Wildlife & Echo Tourism

What is Eco-Tourism?

Eco-tourism is a responsible form of travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of local people, and involves interpretation and education. It emphasizes sustainability, conservation, and community involvement.

It is distinct from mass tourism because it:

• Minimizes environmental impact
• Builds environmental and cultural awareness
• Provides direct financial benefits for conservation
• Empowers local people
• Respects local cultures and traditions
