The term "ecotourism," like "sustainable development," and "no net loss of wetlands," has beguiled both idealists and industry opportunists with its ambiguity. Like the Delphic Oracle's pronouncements, these terms are open to highly subjective interpretation
Sustainable development implies using renewable natural resources in a manner which does not eliminate or degrade them or otherwise diminish their usefulness for future generations. A primary goal of sustainable development is to achieve reasonable and equitably distributed level of economic well - being that can be perpetuated continually for many human generations. It is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Ecotourism is responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and sustains the well-being of local people. In other worlds it is a environmentally responsible and socially and entirely sound tourism.
