From the Paper:
"Ecotourism is becoming increasingly more important in the tourism industry due to the internal crises which include the economic recession, the SARS outbreak, terrorist attacks and the war on terrorism. (Chafe, 2004; p. 2) It is important to understand the choices of consumers in Ecotourism and assess the support of the public and travel companies of Ecotourism. Ecotourism is defined by the Ecotourism Society as "a responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people." (Merg, 2007) Ecotourism involves travel to natural destinations such as remote areas which are under environmental protection whether at the national, international, communal or private level. (Merg, 2007) Ecotourism minimizes impact to the area through use of recycle materials and renewable sources of energy. Ecotourism is further characterized by safe disposal of waste and garbage and environmentally and culturally sensitive architectural design." (Merg, 2007)"Sample of Sources Used:
