[1]Ecotourism is commonly regarded as low impact (影响)travel to undisturbed places. It is different from traditional tourism because it allows the traveler to become educated about the areas - both in terms of geographical conditions and cultural characteristics, and often provides money for conservation and benefits the development of the local areas.
[2]Ecotourism has its origin with the environmental movement of the 1970s. It was not widely accepted as a travel concept until the late 1980s. During that time, increasing environmental awareness made it desirable.
[3]Due to the growing popularity of environmentally-related and adventure travel, various types of trips are now being classified as ecotourism. Actually, a true eco-friendly trip must meet the following principles:
- Minimize the impact of visiting the place.
- Build respect for and awareness of the environment and cultural practices.
- Provide financial aid and other benefits for local peoples.
- Make sure that the tourism provides positive experiences for both the visitors and the hosts.
[4]Komodo National Park, officially recognized in 1980, is popular for ecotourism because of its unique biodiversity. Activities there range from whale watching to hiking (远足) and accommodations aim to have a low impact on the natural environment.
