Abstract

Environmental tourism, also known as ecotourism, has emerged as a sustainable and responsible approach to travel that aims to minimize the negative impacts of tourism on natural ecosystems while promoting conservation, education, and community engagement. This form of tourism emphasizes immersive experiences in pristine and ecologically sensitive areas, fostering an understanding of local biodiversity, ecosystems, and cultural heritage. The abstract explores the key principles, benefits, challenges, and strategies associated with environmental tourism. It also highlights the importance of collaborative efforts among stakeholders, including governments, local communities, and tour operators, to ensure the long-term viability of environmentally conscious travel. Environmental tourism, often referred to as ecotourism, has emerged as a significant and dynamic sector within the broader tourism industry. This form of tourism places emphasis on sustainable practices, conservation of natural resources, and cultural preservation while providing travelers with opportunities to explore and appreciate the Earth's diverse ecosystems and cultures. As concerns about environmental degradation and cultural homogenization grow, environmental tourism stands as a promising avenue for fostering responsible travel and promoting the protection of global biodiversity and heritage. This paper delves into the conceptual framework, benefits, challenges, and strategies associated with environmental tourism, highlighting its potential to contribute to both local economies and the global endeavor of preserving our planet's natural and cultural treasures.
