Ecotourism is also known as Environment tourism which responsible travel to fragile, pristine, and usually protected areas that strives to be small scale. Environmental tourism can include travel to unique and endangered areas, such as the Galapagos Islands. In addition to visiting places for its uniqueness, many people engage in environmental tourism as a “voluntarism” mission – this is a form of tourism in which people travel to a destination for a short period of time to volunteer in some capacity.
