TOURISM INFORMATION
Why is there such a
growing interest in ecotourism?
The world community is more aware of the important
interactions of ecosystems and the impact people
have on the environment. A growing awareness of
ecological concerns through local issues, news
stories, and increased mobility are all contributing
to more involvement and more personal concern.
