Ecotourism is a unique way for travellers to engage in sustainable tourism while vacationing. Throughout the
years, specific "Eco" organizations, including Eco-resorts, wurs, and Non-Governmental Organizations, have
developed across the globe. This specific type of tourism is now increasingly becoming one of the more popular,
with growth rates increasing every year. The United Nations, aware of the fact that tourism could be one of the
most detrimental activities if not planned in accordance with the threshold imposed by nature, has declared the
celebration of the International Day of Ecotourism, to promote sustainable practices in this growing industry.
Recently, The Division for Sustainable Development, Small Island Developing States Unit, decided that in
preparation for the International Day of Ecotourism, it would be beneficial to identify successful practices of
ecotourism on small islands. In order for ecotourism to be categorized as successful, it must meet the following
criteria: it must combine natural and cultural tourism; it must involve local populations in the program, including
providing educational resources to the local community; it must identity, manage, and conserve the natural and
cultural environment, as well as the resources on the island; it must generate practices that will lead to the future
sustainability of the island. If these criteria are followed by an organization, it deserves to be recognized as
successful.
In order to locate these certain organizations, the SIDS Unit started a thoughtful internet search for ecotourism
organizations. The focus was on four different categories: Eco-resorts and hotels, Eco-tours, Non-Governmental
Organizations involved in ecotourism, and Government Codes of Conduct and Guidelines regarding ecotourism
for travellers. Once an Internet-site that filled the criteria was located, further contact with the organizations was
initiated, enabling us to obtain further information directly from the source. Many of the organizations were
delighted to correspond with us and are eager to show all that their organization has achieved.
The stories presented come from across the globe and vary in success levels. While all of the organizations
engage in practicing ecotourism, some focus in different areas than others. This is due to a various number of
reasons, including the size of an organization, length of time the organization has been in existence, amount of
funding available, and economic/political situations occurring on the island. However, it is important to recognize
that although some ecotourism organizations are more developed than others, the ultimate goal of sustainable
development, conservation and education through ecotourism remains consistent.
