Ecotourism concerns itself with the flora, fauna, geology, and ecosystems of an area as well as the people (caretakers) who live nearby, their needs, their culture and their relationship to the land. It views natural areas both as "home to all of us" in a global sense ("eco" meaning home) but "home to nearby residents" specifically. It is envisioned as a tool for both conservation and sustainable development, especially in areas where local people are asked to forgo the consumptive use of resources for other uses. 6, record 5, English, - ecotourism

L'écotourisme a de nombreuses définitions mais son objectif général devrait être de fournir une occasion de développer le tourisme de manière à réduire au minimum les effets négatifs de cette branche d'activité et un moyen d'encourager activement la protection de la biodiversité exceptionnelle de la Terre.
