The evolution of ecotourism can be traced to the twin ideas of natural resources conservation and the human need for recreation. Similarly with Lindberg and McKercher (1997) support the idea that ecotourism is tourism and recreation which are both nature-based and sustainable. Weaver (2001) claimed that ecotourism is a way to sustainable development and can be defined as “Ecotourism is a form of tourism that fosters learning experiences and appreciation of the natural environment, or some component thereof, within its associated cultural context. It has the appearance (in concert with best practice) of being environmentally and socio-culturally sustainable, preferably in a way that enhances the natural and cultural resource base of the destination and promotes the viability of the operation.”
