The International Ecotourism Society defines ecotourism as responsible travel to natural areas that helps to conserve the environment and the well being of the local people.

This means:

bulletTo have fun on your holiday.
bulletNot to damage or wear out what you have travelled to experience.
bulletTo contribute actively to nature preservation and local culture.
bulletTo help make the local economy profitable. 
bulletTo stimulate visitors curiosity and respect for place and people visited.

 

Ecotourism is:

bulletAn efficient way to add economic value to threatened natural areas and cultural sites.
bulletA way to provide job opportunities and financial benefits for the local people without destroying their natural environment. A way to have the cake and eat it too.
bulletA successful business idea that leads to concrete results whether in Lapland, Central Africa  or hundreds of other places around the world.
bulletA strong profile for countries or destinations promoting tourist trade.
A source of inspiration, setting an example to the entire travel business.
bulletA business idea that allows commercial tourism to be combined in a respectful and profitable way with traditional economy and culture.
bulletA kind of tourism that improves natural and cultural preservation with lower environmental impact than normal tourism.
bulletMore fun for those involved: the traveller, the tour operator, local inhabitants and animals.
One of the fastest growing areas of international tourism.
bulletA success story that has actively contributed to the building of environmental and cultural awareness around the world during the last decade.
