There is a lot of controversy about ecotourism, the reality is there is a lot of people misusing the name Eco, I found in the internet a few all inclusive resorts that they advertise as ecotourism; How in heaven a all inclusive resort can be ecotourism? the answer was (oh, I did call the people that certified the all inclusive resort) that they are creating jobs! That is the way to contribute to the local economies, they can sell that garbage to somebody else, there is only one reason why all inclusive exist in country's under development or third world country's, that is because LABOR IS CHEAP, THAT ARE NO LABOR RIGHTS, NO UNIONS, NO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS and; if there is any, you can buy your way around, since all those country's are infamous because the corruption, why there is no many all inclusive' s in the development country's ?(USA,Canada, Germany,etc) because nature and human have rights in such a places.
Sustainable tourism is to enjoy the local culture, cuisine, traditions and people of the place that you are visiting to eat in taco stands, or to buy fruit from the local farmers, have a meal in the eatery that has no English menu so they have to take to the kitchen a point the food and make animal noises so you can find if there is chicken or beef; to use hotels that have environmentally friendly products and the most important to feel that you learn something in your vacation, to have a pleasant experience in your suitcase when going back home; please don't let those big corporations fool you...till them stay safe and have a great day
