Global Ecotourism Industry Grows as Holidaymakers Wake up to Climate Change
Global Ecotourism Industry Grows as Holidaymakers Wake up to Climate Change
(PRWEB) April 8, 2006
Once considered a passing niche in the holiday market, eco-tourism has benefited from an increased public awareness and a fuller acceptance amongst tour operators who now appreciate its longevity.
By doing away with the archaic model of maximising short-term profits at all costs whilst a particular destination is in vogue and replacing it with a sustainable, more responsible approach, eco-tourism has established itself as the true future of the holiday industry.
The success of eco-tourism lies in its very essence and in the shaping of tourism to complement the environment and the community which it serves. The days of the self-contained hotel complex, owned by overseas companies have seen many attractive areas become sterile franchises, often with little of their original appeal intact.
The need for a more sympathetic means of attracting visitors to interesting and unique destinations continues to abound as does the necessity for tourism to play a front line role in securing a manageable future for the world to which it owes its well-being.
