ECOTOURISM AND DEVELOPMENT

 Ecotourism
Ecotourism is a form of tourism
involving visiting fragile, pristine, and
relatively undisturbed natural areas,
intended as a low-impact and often
small scale alternative to standard
commercial mass tourism.
 Mass tourism
Is a form of tourism that involves tens of thousands
of people going to the same resort often at the same
time of year. It is the most popular form of tourism as
it is often the cheapest way to holiday, and is often
sold as a PACKAGE DEAL.
A package deal is one in which all of the tourists
needs are catered for by one company (such as
Thomas Cook), these needs include travel/flights,
activities, accommodation and sometimes food (called
full board when all meals are included, half board
includes 2 meals a day whilst self-catering means you
cook for yourself).
 Cultural tourism
Is the subset of tourism concerned
with a traveler's engagement with a
country or region's culture, specifically
the lifestyle of the people in those
geographical areas, the history of those
people, their art, architecture, religion(s),
and other elements that helped shape
their way of life
 Epicurean
The definition of Epicurean is followers of the
philosopher Epicurus, who encouraged avoidance
of pain and rejected the idea that the Gods were
involved with human life, or it is someone devoted
to the enjoyment of food and drink.

People who enjoy luxury surroundings and

good wine are examples of people with an
Epicurean philosophy.
People who live life in pursuit of pleasure are
an example of Epicurean people.
 Rural tourism
Focuses on actively participating in a rural
lifestyle. It can be a variant of ecotourism.
Many rural villages can facilitate tourism
because many villagers are hospitable and
eager to welcome (and sometime even host)
visitors.
Agriculture is becoming highly mechanized
and therefore, requires less manual labor.
This trend is causing economic pressure on
some villages, which in turn causes young
people to move to urban areas.
