Ecotourism and conservation: A Review of Key Issues |
| Description |
|
Ecotourism is a subset of the spectrum of tourism types which make up nature-based
tourism. Ecotourism is often viewed and promoted as being consistent with conservation
objectives because it is small-scale with limited ecological and social impacts. In
contrast, nature-based tourism, because of its larger scale, is often used to promote
national development objectives rather than conservation objectives. This review of some
of the key issues of ecotourism and nature-based tourism highlights the complexity of
using tourism as a tool for conservation. |
