First sentence: Although the origins of the term 'ecotourism' are not entirely clear, one of the first use it appears to have been Hetzer (1965), who identified four 'pillars' or principles of responsible tourism: minimizing environmental impacts, respecting host cultures, maximizing the benefits to local people, and maximizing tourist satisfaction.
