Environmental impact

Abstract

Ecotourism represents one of the more eco-friendly alternatives for the economic use of natural resources (Li 2004). The core basis of the field of ecotourism is deeply connected to environmental issues. Other tourism forms are less involved with caring for the environment. Although, the ecotourism sector has principles that pertain to nature, such as environmental conservation, a number of impacts have been generated as a result of human activities in nature-based destinations.
