  • When on an ecotour the holiday makers will usually be under the guidance on a naturalist or an expert on the area to help people observe, understand and appreciate the wildlife, fauna and flora. Ecotourism has become an ethical alternative in the tourism industry and is growing in popularity.

      This is referring to how Eco tourism attracts tourism in a country, giving a chance for the people to understand and experience the wild life.  
  • Amazon is home to 20% of the world's bird species, 20% of its plant species, 10% of its mammal species and 3000 species of fish. As a result it is a great place to go on holiday or vacation for an ecotour.

      Here we can see why is it good to live there and some statistics on the population of plants and more wild life.
  • A genuine ecotour should however offer the tourist the following elements: education, conservation, sustainable development and benefit to local people. If any of these elements are missing from a potential ecotourism operator then possibly think again.

      Here we can see how Eco tourism is done, and what all the Eco tour should cover up, including how it benefits the local people with education about wild life and its conservation, & how it's sustainable.
