“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin”. -William Shakespeare
Traveling is a great way of exploring the world. However, it comes with its costs and drawbacks. Hence, the role of ecotourism is to trim the negative aspects of mass tourism.
Costs are not limited to plane tickets and accommodation. However, there is a subtle bill paid by the environment and the visited cultures, especially when tourists do not adhere to rules and guidelines.
Ecotourism is not simply the mere experience of visiting a place. On the contrary, it happens when we are socially responsible and emotionally caring for the culture and the nature of the visited location.
Some areas are fragile by nature, and any form of littering might cause huge consequences. Sadly enough, only the environment will pay the high bills.

What is the Fuss all about in Ecotourism?
When we think of the future and how tourism will be, some worrying ideas come to mind. For example, certain areas would cease to exist due to natural erosion, flooding or other factors. However, other locations might still be existing, only with due care and respect for them.
If we travel and ultimately live with one particular notion, most of these worries will fade away. The notion is that we borrow the earth from our descendants, rather than inherit it from our ancestors. Only then, our principle of life as a whole will change for the better of mankind.
Ecotourism is the respect for the local communities and the empowerment of their cultures and ideologies. It is at the same time, the preservation of their norms, homes and habitats.
This also reaps financial benefits in the form of protecting the touristic sites. Moreover, it allows fellow travelers to visit and enjoy what the location has to offer. Furthermore, it creates a strong awareness to new travelers taking the same tour.

Nature is Life
Nature is an integrated system that cannot be separated from us. No one would intentionally ruin their health, but sometimes reckless behavior might lead to undesired outcomes in our own bodies.
This can also be translated into nature as well. For instance, we might not want to intentionally harm the place. However and occasionally, uneducated decisions will lead to disastrous results.
For this reason, ecotourism is an educational tourism. It helps make better choices when it comes to traveling. Also, it teaches us a lot of moral lessons we would have not considered otherwise.
Ecotourism promotes biodiversity and flourishes the flora and fauna. Most importantly, it ensures the survival of the whole location for others to enjoy for years to come. Also, they will have the exact travel reward that we experienced.
