Nature tourism – responsible travel to natural areas, which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people.
It is tourism based on the natural attractions of an area. Examples include birdwatching, photography, stargazing, camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, and visiting parks. These experiential tourists are interested in a diversity of natural and cultural resources. They want what is real, and they want to be immersed in a rich natural, cultural, or historical experience.
Couple camping, one of the many activities that can be enjoyed as a nature tourist.
From the standpoint of conservation, nature-based tourism provides incentives for local communities and landowners to conserve wildlife habitats upon which the industry depends – it promotes conservation by placing an increased value on remaining natural areas. As nature tourism becomes more important to the local economy, communities have additional incentive to conserve their remaining natural areas for wildlife and wildlife enthusiasts.
The nature-based tourism efforts in Texas will continue to focus on achieving habitat conservation by providing information and assistance to private landowners, communities, businesses, and local community leaders wishing to make nature-based tourism an integral part of their business and community. By empowering people at the local level, we hope to build and provide guidance to a growing industry that holds great promise for sustainable economic development and conservation of wildlife habitat.
Tourism involving travel to areas of natural or ecological interest, for the purpose of observing wildlife and learning about the environment.
Eco-tourism is consecrated for preserving and sustaining the diversity of the world's natural and cultural environments. It accommodates and entertains visitors in a way that is minimally intrusive or destructive to the environment and sustains & supports the native cultures in the locations it is operating in. Responsibility of both travellers and service providers is the genuine meaning for eco-tourism.
Culture, has been defined as “the whole complex of distinctive spiritual, intellectual, & emotional features that characterize a society or social group. It includes not only the arts and letters, but also modes of life, the fundamental rights of a human being, value systems, traditions and beliefs”.

RURAL TOURISM: SCOPE AND CHALLENGES IN INDIAN CONTEXTArnab Gantait
Rural Tourism exhorts tourists to spend quality time in a nuanced fashion by engaging them in different ethnic, indigenous and aesthetic practices in rural areas.The stresses generating fromurban life and the detachmentand distance from natural environment occasionally provoke the urbanitesto escape from their monoculture city life.In such case, rural locations seem to be an ideal place to release stress and also providean opportunity to be re-engagedin a simplerway of life that offers rest and absolute peace for a certain period of time. Not only that, such form of tourism is widely acknowledged because it can shape up rural society by bringing benefit both in monetary and social terms. Although the concept is relatively new one and has both positive and negative impacts, it has gained immense importance around the world in recent time. A large population in India, staying in rural areas, are still primarily dependent on traditional age old practice i.e. cultivation. But the profit, generating from agriculture is falling down day by day and these villagers are lacking sufficient alternative job scope.This situation is enforcing them to settle down in nearby urban localities in search of better income and better livelihood. If the rural India can be re-developed, rejuvenated and promoted as tourist spots, these villagers will obviously get adequate number of alternative job scope that can possibly reduce the tendency of leaving native villages and in such way the socio-economic condition of rural India can also be improved. In India, Rural Tourism is untouched for marketing. Now, thrust will be to promote village tourism as the primary tourism product to gain maximum socio-economic benefits from it.In this connection,we need to understand the rural setting, people, social, political and environmental background, local sentiments etc. of any place. In addition, we have to work out an effective plan that will involve the rural people in such form of tourism that can enhance their economic condition towards a positive direction. Marketers and entrepreneurs have already realized the scope and market opportunity and have adopted many effective strategies both for the short-term profits and its success in the long run.But they are also facing a number of challenges while marketing and promoting Rural Tourism.These challenges have to be overcome in coming future to get maximum benefits from Rural Tourism.
This paper has highlighted the need, scope and marketing strategy for Rural Tourism in the Indian context. At the end, we have also discussed some of the issues and challenges of Rural Tourism and have suggested few solutions.

Eco-tourism management in Rajaji National Park, Uttarakhand (India)BASIX
Eco-tourism:Perhaps the most over-used and mis-used word in the travel industry. But what does it mean? The Ecotourism Society defines it as "responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of the local people". A walk through the rainforest is not eco-tourism unless that particular walk somehow benefits that environment and the people who live there. A rafting trip is only eco-tourism if it raises awareness and funds to help protect the watershed. A loose interpretation of this definition allows many companies to promote themselves as something that they are not. If true eco-tourism is important to you, ask plenty of questions to determine if your trip will help "conserve and improve" the places you visit.

Ecotourism, a fusion of "ecology" and "tourism," represents a transformative approach to travel that places sustainability, conservation, and responsible exploration at its core. In a world where the allure of travel continues to grow, ecotourism stands out as a beacon of hope for our planet's fragile ecosystems. This eco-conscious form of tourism is not merely about sightseeing; it's a philosophy that seeks to protect and preserve the natural environment while providing enriching experiences for travelers. Ecotourism invites individuals to immerse themselves in pristine landscapes, observe wildlife in their natural habitats, and engage with local communities to foster both environmental and socio-economic well-being. As the global call for environmental stewardship and sustainable practices grows louder, ecotourism emerges as a sustainable and responsible alternative that not only satisfies wanderlust but also promotes the conservation of our planet's diverse ecosystems. In this exploration of ecotourism, we delve into its principles, features and its role in shaping a more sustainable future for both travelers and the environment.
Introduction to the Kegawa Herders Cooperative. The cooperative was established by Tibetan herders in the Yushu area to produce and sell livestock products, to help provide employment, and to generate income for local community members in ecologically sound ways. Founded with the support of Plateau Perspectives. The benefits of founding the cooperative include enhanced community resilience (in the face of climate change) and environmental conservation outcomes. Presented in special session co-hosted by Mountain Societies Research Institute (University of Central Asia) and Central Asia Mountain Hub (CAMH), at the Mountain Futures 2016 conference held in Kunming, China, on March 1-4, 2016; organised by ICRAF.
Cost Effective Ways To Achieving Sustainable Tourism Best Practices Wild Asia
It is easy to assume that only high tech solutions can be applied to achieve sustainability. This may be the case for economies that have very high labour costs and relatively cheap access to technology. In economies where labour costs are low and imported technology is very expensive there are alternative solutions to achieve sustainability and to provide memorable tourism experiences. This presentation will draw on case studies from across the globe and relate the findings that are relevant to the ASEAN region.
Role of Ecotourism in Sustainable Developmentkabitakrmandal
Sustainable tourism development requires the informed participation of all relevant stakeholders, as well as strong political leadership to ensure wide participation and consensus-building.
Sustainable tourism should also maintain a high level of tourist satisfaction and ensure a meaningful experience to the tourists, raising their awareness about sustainability issues and promoting sustainable tourism practices amongst them.
