| Summary: | This study was carried out as partial requirement for my Bachelor in Business Administration (Marketing). The purpose of this study was to examine the marketing issues faced by eco-tourism industry and the impacts of eco-tourism on natural environment and local communities in order to create awareness on the importance of eco-tourism. The international eco-tourism market declined dramatically as a result of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Airlines
continue to project lower utilization rates for passenger services. But eco-tourism offers some attractive opportunities as a means of reestablishing a destination. The world's eco-tourists are mostly knowledgeable, sophisticated travelers, and this sector is expected to successfully rebuild somewhat more rapidly than other types of international leisure travel (WTTC, 2001). Also, the eco-tourist usually visits rural communities and more remote regions of host countries. |
