    Ecotourism involves traveling to natural areas while minimizing environmental impact and supporting conservation efforts through education and financial benefits for local communities. It aims to build awareness of fragile ecosystems and cultures by exposing visitors to these places, but there is debate around whether high tourism traffic could end up damaging the environments and communities ecotourism aims to protect by spreading infections and overburdening infrastructure in some locations. More research is still needed to determine ecotourism's overall effectiveness.
