1993 what kind of tourism is defined by the international ecotourism association to protect the natural environment and maintain the lives of local people?

1993 The International Ecotourism Association defines tourism as eco-tourism that can protect the natural environment and safeguard the lives and economic interests of local people.

From 65438 to 0993, the International Ecotourism Association held a meeting in Vancouver, Canada, which redefined ecotourism. The association defines tourism that can protect the natural environment and protect the lives and economic interests of local people as "eco-tourism" and puts forward that "eco-tourism should not have a negative impact on the natural environment and cultural heritage". As can be seen from the above definition, eco-tourism refers to the process of visiting natural landscapes and cultural resorts, minimizing the damage to the environment and cultural heritage, and supporting and promoting local natural resources, cultural traditions and social economy. This kind of tourism not only protects nature and culture, but also provides important help for local economic development and the livelihood of local residents. For eco-tourism, tourists should actively abide by tourism ethics, respect local culture, ecology and social environment, and cooperate with relevant local protection measures. When developing eco-tourism, tourism should also minimize the impact on natural and cultural heritage, and adopt the concept of sustainable tourism to achieve mutual benefit of economy, environment and society.

What's the difference between eco-tourism and ordinary tourism? Eco-tourism emphasizes the protection of ecological environment and cultural heritage, not only considering the development of commercial economy, but also paying more attention to the livelihood of local residents and the inheritance of social culture. At the same time, eco-tourism is generally carried out under the guidance of green environmental awareness, paying attention to tourists' sense of participation and realizing the harmonious unity between tourists and nature and culture.

1993 The International Ecotourism Association defines tourism as eco-tourism that can protect the natural environment and safeguard the lives and economic interests of local people. Eco-tourism is carried out under the principles of respecting nature, protecting the environment, inheriting culture and promoting prosperity. Its main purpose is to appreciate natural scenery and experience regional culture. With appropriate advertising, tourism facilities and services, pay attention to ecological environment protection, cultural resources development and social and economic benefits. Eco-tourism not only protects nature and culture, but also provides important help for local economic development and the life of local residents.
