Ecotourism enables you to travel around the world and make the smallest impact on the environment and local societies as possible. It can also help you to contribute to improvements and positive changes for indigenous people and/or the natural world. This does not mean that you have to sacrifice your creature comforts, there are plenty of luxury hotels, tour companies, and experiences that have a positive impact and are created with the most attention to detail and care. From locally run boutique hotels to large chains that are actively monitoring their footprint and impact on the society that they are operating in, ecotourism covers a broad range of adventures and vacations.
