The need for stewardship and conservation


Ecotourism

Ecotourism aims to be a form of sustainable tourism. 

What does this mean?

The impact of tourists on the environment and local culture should be minimal and the feature/resource of interest will be considered for future generations to enjoy. 

Stewardship

The careful management of the environment on a large scale, regionally, nationally and globally. We all have the responsibility to be a steward. 

Ecotourism

Ecotourism is environmentally friendly tourism. Ecotourism should be sustainable and no waste should be generated that cannot be dealt with efficiently. Its primary concentration is on education, nature based activities and sustainability. The market for ecotourism is limited because the price paid by each tourist is high. It caters for a small but growing niche market of environmentally aware tourists.
