What is Ecotourism?
EcotourismΒ isΒ βresponsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the localΒ people, and involves interpretation and educationβΒ (TIES, 2015). As an ecotourist in Cambodia, you can explore andΒ experience nature in a sustainable manner, respect our cultural heritage and most importantly, build environmental awareness.β
Ecotourism activities not only bring together nature conservation efforts, the local people and sustainable traveling – it can make a lasting positive impact on the local communities and environmental ecosystems. Being a real ecotourist is much more than having a holiday in nature, it is becoming part of the nature, while caring, supporting, and understanding it.Β Enjoy becoming part of EcoCambodia.Β
