Ecotourism refers to responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the well-being of local communities. It involves minimizing the negative impacts on the environment and showcasing the cultural and natural heritage of a destination. We should care about ecotourism because it promotes sustainable development, biodiversity conservation, and the preservation of local cultures. By supporting ecotourism, we contribute to the protection of fragile ecosystems, help raise awareness about environmental issues, and generate economic opportunities for local communities. Ecotourism can positively impact communities by creating jobs, empowering local residents, and improving infrastructure and services. It also stimulates local economies through visitor spending on accommodations, food, guides, and souvenirs, thereby enhancing the overall well-being and standards of living in these areas.
