Purports to educate the traveler; provide funds for conservation; directly benefit the economic development and political empowerment of local communities; and foster respect for different cultures and for human rights. Held as important by those who participate in it so that future generations may experience aspects of the environment relatively untouched by human intervention.[1]Ecotourism may appeal to ecologically and socially conscious individuals.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotourism
