The International Ecotourism Society (TIES) defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of the local people."
Ecotourism is the implementation of good tourism practice that minimises impacts, grows environmental and cultural awareness, creates positive experiences for both travellers and Africa's people, ensures direct financial benefits for conservation efforts and provides financial benefits and empowerment for local people.
