Ecotourism is also recognised as nature travel that advances conservation and sustainable development including aspects of environmental education and supply-side sustainable management. During the 19th Century, nature travel was a quest for spectacular and unique scenery and the concept of a national park was developed; while the founders of national parks wanted to protect the environment rather than provide resorts, tourists provided the economic and political rationale needed to translate philosophy into accomplishment. In the 20th Century, mass tourism increased enormously but it also generated various problems such as environmental degradation and the loss of cultural identity and integrity. In the meantime, during the 1960s, public concern about the environment increased but mainly in industrialised countries. By 1960, publicity from these activities and from scientists created enough public pressure so that the Humpback whale was made a wholly protected species. As a result, The blue Whale protection in 1967 may be said to mark the birth of ecotourism. Other early reference to ecotourism are found in Miller’s work (1978) on the national park planning for ecotourism development in Latin American and in documentation produced by Environment Canada. Besides, it promotes development and provides financial benefits and empowerment for the local populations in rural communities. Though it is recognised as a possible means of sustainability achievement, it remains in doubt whether ecotourism is really an alternative solution
