Re-visiting ecotourism definitions
Another way to see ecotourism is as a form of tourism development that is sympathetic to, complements, or is employed as a vehicle for conserving and sustaining natural and cultural environments. It is often described as sustainable, green, or alternative tourism (Cooper et al. 2010).
Because cultural and natural landscapes are indivisible, ecotourism seeks to market to tourists and attract them to rare and beautiful ecosystems, including cultural attractions.
