ECOTOURISM: The International Ecotourism Society defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people." This means that those who implement and participate in ecotourism activities should follow the following principles: * Minimize impact * Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect * Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts * Provide direct financial benefits for conservation * Provide financial benefits and empowerment for local people * Raise sensitivity to host countries' political, environmental, and social climate * Support international human rights and labor agreements
DESTINATIONS: Where to go? Credible agencies like The International Ecotourism Society, Green Globe and EcoClub have focused on countries with strong commitments to preservation such as: Belize (for its Mayan sites), Brazil (national parks), Ecuador (Galapagos Islands and Amazonian rainforest), Kenya (wildlife reserves), Nepal (mountain trekking), Peru (bird watching), and South Africa (game and nature reserves). The following countries are also noteworthy: Argentina, Barbados, Costa Rica, Croatia, Slovenia, Sri Lanka and Uruguay. There are many others, of course, so look over the wide variety of offerings and enjoy whatever appeals to you. Just click on a country on the list, or click on the activity sources below, and get information on a country, tour services, accommodations and lodging. Many of the sites have links to other interesting information. Also take a look at the websites, including blogs, on the links page for valuable information and comments from other travellers.
