Travel is fundamentally an
emotional human experience
MR. S. KAMEDA
JAPAN Airlines, 1975
Welcome to the World of Ecotravel
Based on the generally accepted definition:

Ecotourism is responsible travel to
natural areas that will encourage
environment education, appreciation
and conservation, in order to sustain and
improve the lives of the local community.
Early in 1992 Healey suggested the
following clarificatory definitions
Nature/Eco/Sustainable Tourism Definitions
1.

Nature Tourism denotes all tourism dependent on
natural resources.

2.

Ecotourism – denotes nature tourism that is
responsible, conserves the environment, and sustains
the well being of local people

3.

Sustainable tourism denotes all types of tourism,
whether natural or human resources that contribute
to sustainable development.
NATURE BASED ECOTOURISM
NBE
Factors that Led to Ecotourism
Early writings on conservation and travel began to appear in the
70’s. Peter Thresher in 1972 and later David Western and Wesley
Henry in 1979 suggested that tourism in national parks need not
conflict with conservation uses. These three authors were all
working in Kenya where tourism to national parks was already
attracting significant foreign exchange.
In 1981 Thresher wrote his groundbreaking article on
the economics of a lion in 1981. He concluded that over
it’s lifetime a lion will draw US$ 515,000.00 in foreign
exchange alive and well for wildlife viewing. In contrast
its value was only US$ 8,500.00 as a hunting or sport
resource and up to US$ 1325 as a commercial skin.
• In the late 1980’s a number of trends
coalesced. These new trends were also
reflected in conservation reports, such as
Elizabeth Boo’s 1990 report “Ecotourism:
Potentials and Pitfalls”.
• Karen Ziffer’s Ecotourism: The Uneasy
Alliance stated that ecotourism’s goal is to
capture a portion of the global travel market by
bringing visitors to natural areas and using the
revenues to fund local conservation and local
economic development.
Early Tourism Market
• The early ecotourism marketplace were the
Galapagos Islands, Costa Rica, Kenya and
NEPAL. In fact some of these places argued
they were already using ecotourism principles
for 20-30 years before we even began to use the
word ecotourism.
• In 1991, the Ecotourism Society in the U.S. was
founded and defined ecotourism as “responsible
tourism to natural areas that conserves the
environment and sustains the well being of local
people”.
In 1992 the Philippines recognizing the
importance of Ecotourism Bidded to host
World Expo 2002 with the
theme”Ecotourism Growing with Nature”
In 1998 The United Nations
Declared 2002 as the:
INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF ECOTOURISM
Environmental Impact
The environmental impact of tourism development in natural areas is cause for
serious concern. In some popular destinations, the natural attractions of the areaanimal habitats, forests, reefs and wetlands – have been destroyed due to
overbuilding and irresponsible development.
But today, many tour operators in destinations as diverse as Sabah, China,
Philippines, Brazil, Belize and Antarctica are realizing the value of conservation
and are working to improve the environment.
Ecotravelers can encourage those efforts by learning more about the
environmental impact of tourism and by making informed travel choices that
support conservation and preservation of the natural wonders of the earth.
What you can do to help preserve the
environment
• Choose destinations that are not overcrowded or overdeveloped.
• Select responsible tour operators and guides who are aware of
environments concerns and who contribute financially to
conservation and preservation efforts.
• Seek out responsible, environmentally-sensitive accommodations
• Follow all advisories, rules and regulations regarding
protected areas, water sources or wildlife habitats.
• Take nothing in with you and leave behind only footprints.
• If reviewing wildlife, never touch, chase or harass animals or marine
life.
• Support the work of conservation and preservation organizations.
GLOBAL TOURISM TRENDS
According to the World Tourism
Organization (WTO)
a total of 924 million tourists
visited
various
destinations
worldwide in 2008.
Total foreign exchange receipts
(excluding airfares) was about
US$1.02 trillion.
30% of world export services
Of these numbers, nature travel or
ecotourism as it is commonly
called now, accounted for 20-30%
of travelers.

international agencies are increasingly looking to
tourism to assist in poverty alleviation
Example: assets of the poor include
wildlife and culture
creation of employment at all skill levels

  • 1. ECOTOURISM: Growing With Nature Poverty Alleviation and Environmental Conservation By: Dr. Mina T. Gabor Chairman, Ecotourism Society of the Philippines Foundation President, Philippine Small and Medium Business Development Foundation, Inc. Honorary Consul, Republic of Maldives
  • 2. Travel is fundamentally an emotional human experience MR. S. KAMEDA JAPAN Airlines, 1975
  • 3. Welcome to the World of Ecotravel
  • 4. Based on the generally accepted definition: Ecotourism is responsible travel to natural areas that will encourage environment education, appreciation and conservation, in order to sustain and improve the lives of the local community.
  • 5. Early in 1992 Healey suggested the following clarificatory definitions Nature/Eco/Sustainable Tourism Definitions 1. Nature Tourism denotes all tourism dependent on natural resources. 2. Ecotourism – denotes nature tourism that is responsible, conserves the environment, and sustains the well being of local people 3. Sustainable tourism denotes all types of tourism, whether natural or human resources that contribute to sustainable development.
  • 7. Factors that Led to Ecotourism Early writings on conservation and travel began to appear in the 70’s. Peter Thresher in 1972 and later David Western and Wesley Henry in 1979 suggested that tourism in national parks need not conflict with conservation uses. These three authors were all working in Kenya where tourism to national parks was already attracting significant foreign exchange.
  • 8. In 1981 Thresher wrote his groundbreaking article on the economics of a lion in 1981. He concluded that over it’s lifetime a lion will draw US$ 515,000.00 in foreign exchange alive and well for wildlife viewing. In contrast its value was only US$ 8,500.00 as a hunting or sport resource and up to US$ 1325 as a commercial skin.
  • 9. • In the late 1980’s a number of trends coalesced. These new trends were also reflected in conservation reports, such as Elizabeth Boo’s 1990 report “Ecotourism: Potentials and Pitfalls”. • Karen Ziffer’s Ecotourism: The Uneasy Alliance stated that ecotourism’s goal is to capture a portion of the global travel market by bringing visitors to natural areas and using the revenues to fund local conservation and local economic development.
  • 10. Early Tourism Market • The early ecotourism marketplace were the Galapagos Islands, Costa Rica, Kenya and NEPAL. In fact some of these places argued they were already using ecotourism principles for 20-30 years before we even began to use the word ecotourism. • In 1991, the Ecotourism Society in the U.S. was founded and defined ecotourism as “responsible tourism to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the well being of local people”.
  • 11. In 1992 the Philippines recognizing the importance of Ecotourism Bidded to host World Expo 2002 with the theme”Ecotourism Growing with Nature”
  • 12. In 1998 The United Nations Declared 2002 as the: INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF ECOTOURISM
  • 13. Environmental Impact The environmental impact of tourism development in natural areas is cause for serious concern. In some popular destinations, the natural attractions of the areaanimal habitats, forests, reefs and wetlands – have been destroyed due to overbuilding and irresponsible development. But today, many tour operators in destinations as diverse as Sabah, China, Philippines, Brazil, Belize and Antarctica are realizing the value of conservation and are working to improve the environment. Ecotravelers can encourage those efforts by learning more about the environmental impact of tourism and by making informed travel choices that support conservation and preservation of the natural wonders of the earth.
  • 14. What you can do to help preserve the environment • Choose destinations that are not overcrowded or overdeveloped. • Select responsible tour operators and guides who are aware of environments concerns and who contribute financially to conservation and preservation efforts. • Seek out responsible, environmentally-sensitive accommodations • Follow all advisories, rules and regulations regarding protected areas, water sources or wildlife habitats. • Take nothing in with you and leave behind only footprints. • If reviewing wildlife, never touch, chase or harass animals or marine life. • Support the work of conservation and preservation organizations.
  • 15. GLOBAL TOURISM TRENDS According to the World Tourism Organization (WTO) a total of 924 million tourists visited various destinations worldwide in 2008. Total foreign exchange receipts (excluding airfares) was about US$1.02 trillion. 30% of world export services Of these numbers, nature travel or ecotourism as it is commonly called now, accounted for 20-30% of travelers.
