- Dicionário Houaiss: turismo que respeita e preserva o equilíbrio do meio, fomentando a educação ambiental; turismo ecológico.
Wikipedia: O ecoturismo é uma forma de turismo voltada para a apreciação de ecossistemas em seu estado natural, com sua vida selvagem e sua população nativa intactos.
Embora o trânsito de pessoas e veículos seja agressivo ao estado natural desses ecossistemas, os defensores de sua prática argumentam que, complementarmente, o ecoturismo contribui para a preservação dos mesmos e para o desenvolvimento sustentável das populações locais, melhorando a qualidade de vida das mesmas. Dicionário Houaiss, Wikipedia - by Henrique Serra
- Example sentence(s)
- Por estarem diretamente ligados ao meio ambiente, o ecoturismo e o turismo participativo devem deixar de observar as fronteiras políticas - estados e regiões - familiares ao turista convencional, passando a "enxergar" uma região sob o ponto de vista geográfico e físico, isto é, por seus diversos ecossistemas, com suas respectivas cidades-acesso. - Ministério das Relações Exteriores by Henrique Serra
