The World's Best Ecotourism Destinations

Introduction
Before we get down to our list, here's a very short discussion about ecotourism:Ecotourism, in my personal opinion, is a special way to travel. In contrast to commercial recreation, which attracts tourists mainly for long-term profits, ecotourism attracts tourists to educate them. Whereas the former is mostly driven by businessmen, the latter is led and managed mostly by non-profit organizations in order to generate funds for ecological conservation purposes.

Ecotourism, ecotravel, ecolodges and just generally being "eco" have become popular tourism sales pitches.  What is true great ecotourism? What defines an ecolodge or an ecological company?  How is the surrounding community involved?  And finally, is ecotourism such a great thing anyways?In order to truly understand ecotourism and all of it's attendant pros and cons it is necessary to do some background research.  This page offers an introduction to the topic along with several links to more detailed information.

As ecotourism garners interest among a growing number of travelers, eco resorts have popped up everywhere, from Florida to Fiji. In fact, the ecotourism industry is growing so quickly that it would be nearly impossible to map which countries have become the greatest eco-destinations, especially when the terms "eco" and "green" are thrown around so readily that it can be hard to tell what is genuine and what is simply a marketing ploy. Ecotourism at its heart not only preserves natural habitats and indigenous cultures and species
