Ecotourism in Africa
Africa's wildlife and natural beauty have been attracting tourists for years. But
until recently tourism did more harm than good and the industry was not growing.
Many of the animal species that tourists came to see faced extinction as a result of
hunting, poaching, political instability and the increase in human populations. Profits

5 that were made from tourism activities did not benefit local communities.
Today tourism is a growing industry, which is helping to protect natural resources
and to empower local communities. Africa has been a leader in the international trend
towards sustainable tourism, which is what ecotourism is all about. Africa's ecotourism
industry helps to protect wildlife and to educate tourists and local people about the
10 need to preserve natural resources. The industry now sees the community as an integral
part of tourism. The idea of ecotourism is catching on fast.
