2. In this presentation we are going to talk about
ecotourism and their education, what the
government offers to this specific area of
tourism and a tourism development plan.

3. Responsible travel to natural areas that
conserves the environment and sustains the
well-being of local people.
Ecotourism requires a proactive approach that
seeks to mitigate the negative and enhance
the positive impacts of nature tourism

4. Ecotourism is about uniting
conservation, communities, and sustainable travel.
This means that those who implement and participate
in ecotourism activities should follow the following
ecotourism principles:
● Minimize impact.
● Build environmental and cultural awareness and
respect.
● Provide positive experiences for both visitors and
hosts.
● Provide direct financial benefits for conservation.
● Provide financial benefits and empowerment for
local people.
● Raise sensitivity to host countries'
political, environmental, and social climate

5.  Emphasizes local participation, ownership and
business opportunities for the rural.
 Offers courses in schools and universities of
ecotourism.
 Builds environmental awareness.

6.  This government organization helps eco-friendly
projects.
 The requirement to applying this help is to have a
project proposal. If the proposal is accepted by the
Conservation Trust of Haru the government can work
on the project.
 This government organization promotes the
environment conservation. Is linked to with
sustainable tourism ideals.

7. The government organization will provide the
budget for this project and will provide other
benefits like:
1. Security
2. Administrative personal
3. Maintenance and food services personal and
publicity

8. Community-based Ecotourism is a form of tourism
where the local community has substantial control
over, and involvement in, its development and
management, and a major proportion of the
benefits remain within the community.

9. This type of tourism can represent an economic
development alternative for the indigenous community of
Haru. Community-based ecotourism appeals to travelers
seeking some type of experiential tourism product such as
adventure touring, animal watching, nature tourism and
cultural and heritage tourism. Its objective is provide the
necessary information about the conservation of natural
resources and cultural/heritage through educational
activities.
