Project Ecotourism Project Ecotourism Project Ecotourism was started in 1993 and is affiliated with Educational Communications, a non-profit organization founded in 1958. Promotion of ecotourism to conserve ecosystems and wildlife and to assist local communities through responsible travel that preserves cultures and natural environments.
Ecotourism is more than adventure trips, nature study, and cultural excursions.
Ecotourism means tourist dollars flow back into conservation efforts and return to and stay in local communities. Ecotourists are individuals who not only go to learn and have fun in a foreign setting, but who also attempt to give something back to the local people, who respect local customs, and are considerate of native resources they visit, especially by not harming animal or plant life. Create radio and television programs that describe ecotourist opportunities and destinations. Speakers are available to groups for presentations. Producers, reporters, and camera people are ready to document specific areas and field conservation projects and trips.
