Exploring the origin of the name of ecotourism

The problems presented by traditional tourism prompt people to think further about it. Should they persist or abandon it? Once ecotourism was proposed, it immediately received a worldwide response.

Ecotourism was first proposed in 1983 by Chebelos Laskari, special advisor to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUKN). Over the past decade, the development of ecotourism has undoubtedly been successful, with an average annual growth rate of 20%, making it the fastest growing segment of tourism products.
