Among today’s contending conservation and development strategies,
ecotourism is one of the most popular. It seeks to curb the often
deleterious effects of large-scale, conventional tourism on local communities
and ecosystems. But more than that, it holds the promise of
overcoming a number of today’s biggest environmental and social
challenges. Ideally, ecotourism can help conserve biological and cultural
diversity, alleviate rural poverty, strengthen ties between parks and
neighbouring peoples, increase public awareness of environmental
concerns, and manifest a new ‘triple bottom line’ for business that
includes profit, social benefits and environmental conservation.
For these reasons, interest in ecotourism has never been greater.
According to the World Tourism Organization, ecotourism is now the
fastest growing segment of an already mammoth tourism industry. By
some estimates, ecotourism generates as much as US$300 billion in
revenues annually. International development and lending agencies
channel millions of dollars into projects that include ecotourism. Major
conservation organizations sponsor ecotourism projects in biodiversity
‘hotspots’ around the world. Most countries with parks and protected
areas now have some kind of marketing strategy to attract ecotourists.
Increasing numbers of universities in the USA and abroad now offer
courses and degree programmes in ecotourism. The United Nations
declared 2002 the ‘International Year of Ecotourism’ and marked it as a
time to take collective stock of the lessons learned. At the Ecotourism
World Summit in Quebec, Canada, thousands of delegates from over a
hundred nations gathered to assess the pros and cons of ecotourism for
peoples and ecosystems around the world |
