Ecotourism is the practice of traveling to and from natural locations, preserving the natural environment, and enhancing the well-being of the local population in a way that enhances their culture and lifestyle. Ecotourism differs from ecotourism in that it places more emphasis on environmental responsibility and sustainability rather than an aesthetic approach. Ecotourism has many main goals, but the main goals are education, protection, preservation, sustainable tourism, and community engagement. Education is the key to any type of sustainable tourism and for ecotourism, this goal is even more important since ecotourism tours often include interaction with local tribal and cultural groups who are important contributors to the environmental health of their local areas.
