Ecotourism: See the World While Saving It
Imagine a vacation in a place of amazing natural beauty. Picture yourself relaxing on a clean beach
in Belize. Picture yourself exploring the desert on a camel in Dubai. Or picture yourself following
lions and zebras in Kenya. Now imagine that you are enjoying these experiences and helping to
preserve the environment. You are protecting wild life and supporting local communities. Is this too
good to be true? No! These vacations are part of a growing trend in the travel industry. The trend is
called ecotourism.
Ecotourism was not common before the 1990s. It is now a multi-billion-dollar industry. But what is
ecotourism? These are some of its characteristics:
• It means travel to natural, often far away, places. These are often protected are as where
development is limited.
• Ecotourism destinations focus on recycling, water conservation, and using renewable energy
sources.

Now, more than a quarter of Costa Rica’s land is protected from development. Costa Rica is now the
world’s top ecotourism destination. This small country of four million people has about 1.5 million
visitors per year!
