Comparison between traditional tourism and ecotourism

Different purpose and focus, different types of activities and experiences, etc.

Traditional tourism mainly consists of excursions to various tourist resources, entertainment and consumption activities, such as visiting attractions, shopping and dining, etc. These activities tend to pay more attention to personal experience and fulfillment, and less attention to the impacts on the local environment and community, compared with ecotourism, which pays more attention to the preservation and inheritance of the natural environment and the local culture, and the activities include observing natural phenomena, understanding the animal and plant ecosystems, experience local culture and so on, while emphasizing the respect and protection of the environment.
