Produktbeschreibung
Eco tourism is a growing industry in many developing countries particularly tropical regions which contain diversity of flora and fauna that not available in four season countries such as Europe and United States.The benefit of ecotourism include increased foreign receipts, infrastructure development, job creation, new market for locally produced goods, increased government revenues through fees and taxes by visitor and protection of natural areas that might otherwise be converted to alternative uses.

In particularly, accommodation and hospitality services including hotel, resort and compounds continue to be the most criticized tourism component because of theirpotential negative impacts in the natural and cultural environment.
