What is ecotourism and what are its characteristics?
In eco-tourism, people visit natural attractions and instead of harming it, they help preserve the environment and bring stability and increase the quality of the native people of that region. Tourists in ecotourism stay in special traditional residences that have old architecture and make people more familiar with the atmosphere of life in the past. Normally, the local people of the same area are responsible for managing these residences. . Also, traditional and organic foods are offered to tourists in eco-tourism accommodations, which is very attractive in its own way. In such trips, in addition to visiting natural attractions, tourists get to know the customs of the local people and can even learn how to prepare local foods, make handicrafts, and the agricultural methods specific to that region.
