Marine Department Viewpoints on Ecotourism

According to Ecotourism.org, “Ecotourism is now defined as ‘responsible travel to

natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and

involves interpretation and education’ (TIES, 2015). Education is meant to be inclusive of

both staff and guests.” (“What is Ecotourism?”, 2019). Ecotourism is now a big topic all

around the world. We all want our world to be beautiful and clean. According to paddle asia

“All tour activities have some impact on the environment and the culture where they operate.

Eco tourism programs should provide benefits to local community, but they should mainly

focus on the environment” (“Benefits of ecotourism”, 2019) People damage the environment
