The focus of ecotourism activities here is on traditional ecological knowledge and cultural practices. visitor participation in livelihood activities, and the teaching of local language, cultural norms, and local cooking, dance, music, art, and indigenous value and lifeways. In her study of a community based Aboriginal ecotourism(or"cultural-ecological tourism," as she terms it) in South Australia, Higgins-Desb(2009), for example, shows how local Ngarrindjeri communities"use indige nous ecotourism to enhance the ecological consciousness of non indigenous peoples" (i.e, visitors) (p. 149). This is accomplished in a walking trail highlighting ethno-botanical foods, medicines, aboriginal lifeways and history, and the environmentally destruc- tive water and land use practices of non-indigenous people. The ecotourism experience also includes basket-weaving workshops connecting culture and Ngarrindjeri people to their environment, and the recounting of Ngarrindjeri Dream stories detailing indig enous laws and lifeways. In further examples, in community ecotourism initiatives in the rainforest of Chambok, Cambodia and the tropical island of Koh Yao Noi, Thailand, respectively, visitors learn about local culture though participation in various nature, cultural and livelihood activities, but above all in homestay expe riences with local families(Walter& Reimer 2011).
