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
