thread_title:  "Greenwashing" vs. "Green washing" 

message: Many citations in this section (ie. from Miller, Walpole et al, Kamuaro - 2007, West) do not appear in the references section of this article. Was this section copied from a previous work/report/essay that had actually used these references?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.42.184.99 (talk) 18:48, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It takes up the majority of the article, which is definitely undue weight. We need more information on the negative effects of tourism (the articles tourism and sustainable tourism have remarkably little on this as I write), but this is too much.

text: The criticism is part of the history of ecotourism, which is to me incorrect. I moved the criticism to the bottom, and look to chip away some of the criticism which is not cited, atleast throw in some "citation needed" tags. It also helps to show how unduly big the criticism section is compared to the rest of the article. I also think its unfair, since the criticism is mostly about problems with tourism in general, not ecotourism. Actually, the article on tourism don't have ANY of this criticism in it... Gnurkel (talk)
The main idea in the top segments is basically “negative impacts (on people and the environment) occur where ecotourism has been badly implemented and this is why all ecotourism is bad.” The author also seems to think that “many” ecotourism projects not meeting necessary standards translates to “nearly all,” and that problems in the industry count as fatal flaws in ecotourism itself…evidence, reasoning and logic not included.  Somehow, ignoring what ecotourism funding actually supports is okay, too. Yes, all those areas conserving wildlife in their natural environments are failing at conservation...? 
So much of the “criticism” is juvenile, poorly argued rhetoric that fixing it is a huge job. And yeah, the sensationalism and unrealistic claims really don’t help. By blaming every conceivable environmental and humanitarian concern on ecotourism, the writer is obscuring the valid problems that do exist while unfairly maligning ecotourism’s potential and its success so far. Where do you even start with all this?  (SoMuchForSubtlety (talk) 04:09, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I also noticed how a lot of discussion in this article doesn't feel very neutral. The overall tone feels more like an essay rather than an unbiased source of information. The author is trying to persuade the reader against ecotourism when this should just be a completely fact based article. Amjones02 (talk) 15:46, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism Section 

message: The introduction to this article seems to be overly focussed on how ecotourists are better than everyone else, and all the reasons why.  A more encyclopedic introduction would be appreciated.  There are also various grammatical and punctuation mistakes in the introduction. 74.92.147.125 (talk) 13:25, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Some of the most important things haven't been mentioned:
* In some regions (i.e. Île du Nord (West North)) ecotourism has been instrumental in returning a region to its natural state (removal of all non-native fauna/flora )
* In some regions ecotourism has been instrumental in protecting areas from hunting, fishing, ... For example, in some eco dive-resorts, protected areas have been created to allow to serve as a breeding place for fish/marine animals

Appearantly, before ecotourist constructions are set up in fragile environments, IBAT's are best written up.

message: Looking through some of the references for this article, many of them seem to lack the notability required for both an article on wikipedia and the topic discussed.

message: I just took an initial run at this after noticing an IP adding a commercial site. We can't use wikivoice to support claims of tourism businesses; especially when we have sourced criticism about the greenwashing and negative effects. It's not too hard to NPOV it, but needs doing. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 18:18, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
