Ecotourism: See the World While Saving It
Imagine a vacation in a place of amazing natural beauty. Picture yourself relaxing on a clean beach in
Belize. Picture yourself exploring the desert on a camel in Dubai. Or picture yourself following lions and
zebras in Kenya. Now imagine that you are enjoying these experiences and helping to preserve the
environment. You are protecting wildlife and supporting local communities. Is this too good to be true? No!
These vacations are part of a growing trend in the travel industry. The trend is called ecotourism.
Ecotourism was not common before the 1990s. It is now a multi-billion dollar industry. But what is
ecotourism? These are some of its characteristics:
• It means travel to natural, often far away, places. These are often protected areas where development is
limited.
• Ecotourism destinations focus on recycling, water conservation, and using renewable energy sources.
• It builds environmental awareness. Visitors explore an area and learn about it.
• It provides an economic reason to save the environment. It raises money to help protect it.
• It creates financial opportunities and jobs for the local people.
Costa Rica was one of the first success stories. Costa Rica once had the highest rate of deforestation in
Latin America. However, since ecotourism, there has been a major reduction in deforestation. Now, more
than a quarter of Costa Rica’s land is protected from development. Costa Rica is now the world’s top
ecotourism destination. This small country of four million people has about 1.5 million visitors per year!
Ecotourism is very important to preserving the land in Costa Rica. This is true for other ecotourism sites
around the world. Ecotourism provides visitors with a special vacation too. These vacations are unforgettable
and educational. Ecotourism is basically a win-win situation. It is good for both the tourists and the
countries they visit.
