Eco – Tourism refers to a form of tourism in which the main motivation of the tourist is the observation and appreciation of the nature as well as tradition and culture prevailing in a natural area.

- (ii) Employment generation and income opportunities for local communities.
- iii) Environmental Protection: As nature becomes the source of employment and income for local communities, they become more keen and aware about the protection of natural and cultural assets in their region.
Due to these benefits of Eco – Tourism, the UN has declared 2002 as the ‘International Year of Eco – Tourism’.
