Ecotourism comparison

Eco-tourism is produced on the basis of environmental problems in the development of traditional mass tourism. It adapts to the ecological era that human beings are experiencing, represents the new trend of tourism development and is a new stage of tourism development. Compared with traditional mass tourism, it has different characteristics in the pursuit of goals, management methods, beneficiaries and influence methods.

For traditional tourism, profit maximization is the goal pursued by developers, while the pursuit of pleasure is the main goal of tourists. The biggest beneficiaries are developers and tourists, and the environmental costs brought by tourism activities are mainly borne by community residents. It sacrifices the sustainable value of environmental resources to gain short-term economic benefits, and this kind of tourism is impossible to develop sustainably. Eco-tourism not only realizes economic, social and aesthetic values, but also seeks suitable profits and maintains the value of environmental resources. Developers, tourists, communities and their residents are all direct beneficiaries, and the environment is protected through effective measures. This is a sustainable tourism industry.
