Eco tourism, also known as ecological tourism, is a form of sustainable travel that supports the local environment instead of putting more pressure on it and exploiting its resources. It is all about conserving the environment and improving the well-being of the local people.

It involves visiting natural areas with the objectives of learning, studying, or participating in activities that do not cause damage to the environment. Tourism operators commit to conservation efforts and locals are involved in decision-making processes.

Eco tourism focuses on minimally invasive and low-impact travel. It encourages the preservation of wildlife and habitats, and it promotes education about the local environment and culture. Rather than exploiting a new location for entertainment purposes, eco-tourism facilities strive to minimize ecological footprints and preserve natural landmarks to maintain biodiversity.
