　　Everyone has a different definition about ecotourism, but most people agree that ecotourism(生态旅游)must:

　　1. conserve the wildlife and culture of the area

　　2. benefit the local people and involve the local community

　　3. be sustainable, that is, make a profit without destroying natural resources

　　So, for example, in a true ecotourism project, a nature reserve allows a small number of tourists to visit its rare animals and uses the money that is generated to continue with important conservation work. The local people have jobs in the nature reserve as guides and wardens, but also have a voice in how the project develops. Tourists stay in local houses with local people, not in specially built hotels. This way they experience the local culture and do not take precious energy and water away from the local population. They travel on foot, by boat, bicycle or elephant so that there is no pollution. And they have a special experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.

　　This type of tourism can only involve small numbers of people, so it can be expensive. There are some principles of ecotourism:

　　1. Be prepared. Learn about the place that you’re going to visit. Find out about its culture and history. Learn a little of the native language. Think of your holiday as an opportunity to learn something.

　　2. Have respect for the local culture. Wear clothes that will not offend people.

　　3. Always ask permission before you take a photograph. Remember that you are a visitor.

　　4. Don’t waste resources. If the area doesn’t have much water, don’t take two showers every day.
