Environmental education within ecotourism can provide a dynamic means of influencing
human behaviour toward the environment. An example of this is Dobbs’ research [23] in
Australia, where it is presented that when too many people come in to contact with dolphins
it causes intense sentimental correspondence, leading to environmental action. As the tourist
movement of Australia is to a large extent related to its wild nature (coastal and continental),the tourists are educated about the marine environment through the eco-action education and
they can – according to Ding and Pigram [24] – contribute positively to the protection of the
planet.
