What is the difference between sustainable tourism and ecotourism?
there is no difference really, they are both mistaken concepts. no person needs to be a tourist anymore with such a vast array of media options to view and virtual experience anything the world has to offer. Tourism by its very nature is a self serving beast, we go somewhere because we want to and can afford to, simply for our own enjoyment. Now i’m not against that, i love my holidays totally and feel like i earned them, but, to call it eco or sustainable is just putting a guilt gloss over the fact that to go somewhere near or far just because you can is not justifiable. Put a climate change spin on it though and the operators can charge more and the “tourist” feels less guilty. Its all a bit crass i think.
