EcotourismEcotourism must also satisfy a set of criteria (R.W. Butler).
It must promote positive environmental ethics and foster environmentally conscious behaviour in its participants
It concentrates on intrinsic rather than extrinsic values where facilities and services never become attractions in their own right
It does not degrade the natural resource or interfere with natural environmental processes

EcotourismEcotourism must also satisfy a set of criteria (R.W. Butler).
Ecotourism must benefit the wildlife and natural environment. The environment and ecological functions remain essentially undisturbed by the tourism
Ecotourism provides a first-hand experience with the natural environment
Ecotourism has the tourist gratified with education and/or appreciation rather than in thrill-seeking or physical achievement

EcotourismEcotourism must also satisfy a set of criteria (R.W. Butler).
Ecotourism has a high knowledge-based and experience-based dimension
Eco tourists enter the environment accepting it on its terms, not expecting it to be modified for their convenience.
