INTRODUCTION
Ecotourism focuses on preserving and sustaining the diversity of the world's natural and cultural environments. In addition to evaluating environmental and cultural factors, initiatives by hospitality providers to promote recycling, energy efficiency, water reuse, and the creation of economic opportunities for local communities are an integral part of Ecotourism. The research by Insch (2011) revealed that tourists’ perceptions of the environment would affect their intended length of stay. While the focus of ecotourism lies within natural resource protection, experiences, and education in natural environment (including cultural resources), sustainability refers to more inclusive issues (social equity, economic viability, and environmental protection) as well as diversified resources (Jamrozy, 2007). Many factors are driving the call for more sustainable forms of tourism and these include increased environmental concern, greater interest in protecting remaining vestiges of natural ecosystems, empowerment of members of the local community, and a significant rise in nature-based travel (Hing & Dimmock, 1997).
