A different type of holiday
Eco-tourism is the term used to describe a holiday that
aims to preserve and protect the natural environment.
Its purpose is to educate the traveller about the
environment and the culture of the local community.
This type of holiday wasnt popular in the past as it was
very expensive. However, in recent years, with low cost
airlines and cheap accommodation, more people can
afford this type of travel. Many travellers are happy to
escape their busy lives to reconnect with nature.
Luxury in the rainforest
An example of ecotourism is in Infierno in Peru. The
place got its name because hundreds of years ago the
journey there was very difficult and dangerous. Now,
boats carry tourists along the river to luxurious eco-
lodges. Behind these lodges are thick rainforests where
visitors can explore and learn more about the diverse
and amazing animals that live there.
An African adventure
The African country of Botswana has many options for
the adventurous traveller interested in experiencing and
learning about nature. The Okavango Delta is an ideal
location to see exotic wildlife. Travellers can stay in eco-
lodges and go on spectacular safari trips during the day.
You also get the opportunity to meet the local tribes and
learn more about their culture and how they are trying
to preserve their natural environment.
Ecotourism and English
Laos is a country in South East Asia. In a remote area of
the country called Luang Namtha, the government is
encouraging the local communities to learn English so
that they can earn an income from ecotourism. The area
is covered by rainforests, mountains and rivers.
Traditionally, the many tribes that lived in the forests
didnt get on with each other and were very poor. Now,
through education, many of them can communicate with
outsiders and work as tour guides for tourists who are
interested in learning about their culture and their
environment. Eco-tourism has helped to develop and
protect this community.
