Eco-tourism: The conscious way of travelling you should try

Travelling: this word might bring you beautiful memories or make you think of that special place you have to visit. Now, did you know that before the 20th-century travelling simply meant going where you had to go? But then, things changed, especially in developed lands.

As well-paying jobs became more available and as the workweek shrank to 40 hours or less, then people had the money and the time to visit more places. Travelling now meant going where you wanted to go. Cars, buses, and airplanes made it easier to pursue recreation in remote locations. And mass tourism became a significant business.
According to The Times Atlas of the 20th Century, tourism “had a dramatic impact, both on those countries receiving tourists and on their home countries.” Here we come with the grim news: Part of the impact has been negative. Tourists have too often contributed to ruining the very attractions they were drawn to see.

Fortunately, back in the 1980s some people buzzed a new word and with it called the attention for varying the style of travelling: Eco-tourism. Nowadays, you can find names like green travel, nature travel, responsible travel, ethical travel, mindful travel, conscious travel, pro-poor tourism, and many others.
No matter what you desire to call it, the central idea all these names have in common is this: an urgency for the tourism industry to adopt more environmentally friendly practices, protect the natural and cultural heritage of any location, and support local communities. To be considered genuinely eco-friendly; ecotourism must make a positive impact on both the ecology and economy of a given destination.
