Ecotourism is defined as tourism of exotic, endangered environments usually to support conservation efforts and research developments. But every coin has two face, there are many disadvantages of ecotourism. Firstly, it threats to indigenous cultures. The lack of resources that may come from relocation isn’t the only reason locals may start to reject ancient practices in order to simply survive. Secondly, it impacts on the environment. In order to visit some of these exotic places, you have to travel long distances. Planes generate a huge amount of global pollution which can indirectly affect the local ecosystems of your travel destination. Cars and boats used for local transportation will have more direct negative effects, which can also lead to environmental degradation.
