Ecological tourism, often shortened to eco tourism, refers to tourism conducted in places that are very sensitive to human activity. Usually these areas contain threatened ecosystems, so tours focus on promoting environmental preservation.
Eco tourism differs from traditional tourism in that it aims to have a minimal impact on the environment. The attitude employed is a respect for nature as opposed to that of man-made environments. Eco tourism occurs in places such as Indonesia and Costa Rica where the flora and fauna of a particular area become an attraction for tourists.
Eco tourism also promotes recycling, water conservation, and financial support of local communities. Participants of eco tourism typically stay in an eco lodge which may be located in a biosphere reserve.
