and national tour Agencies, welcoming tourists to stay in the Amazon, in an exceptional and
unique place. This is a new form of Tourism called EcoTourism or Responsible Tourism.
What is Ecotourism?
Ecotourism has attracted increasing attention in recent years, not only as an alternative to
mass tourism, but as a mean of economic development and environmental conservation. It can
potentially focus the benefits of tourism on the local population.
