Eco Tourism Around the World

Two decades ago, the word eco tourism would not be on any dictionary in the planet.  Today the word is associated with green adventures with the focus on preserving and viewing some of the most beautiful and green environments in the planet.  Here are some noteworthy destinations to consider for ecotourism.

Brazil, the land of the Amazon River, Carnival and Iguacu Falls.  The Amazon is one of the most popular ecotourism destinations in the world because of its diverse plant and anima life.  The Amazon has over half of the world’s species of flowers, trees and herbs.  Not only is the Amazon mysterious, there is also a sense of adventure and danger whenever visitors visit this ecotourist destination.

When people say Dubai, ecotourism is probably the last thing that will enter their minds.  Indeed a lifeless desert seems to be an inappropriate location for ecotourism but The Al Maha Desert Resort is eco-tourism, Dubai-style. The resort features 40 bungalows, furnished like Bedouin tents stocked with pillows, sherry, expensive soap and pillows.  It is more like an exclusive retreat rather than an eco tourism desitination with all its luxury, but the resort has helped the wildlife in the area. The biggest success to date is theArabian oryx, a big white antelope whose numbers had been poached to fewer than 50 by the 1960s.  Today, its numbers are thriving thanks to the efforts made by the resort and its staff.

Canada is known as the Land of Plenty and it has plenty of ecotourism destinations to choose from.  The country offers many unique ecological experiences.  There are whale watching expeditions, treks through ancient forests that also feature Canada’s native people’s art and artifacts.  There is always something Canada has to offer for different people, making it an ideal ecotourism destination for lots of people.
