Title
Ecotour Expeditions: Leader in Nature Tours to the Americas
Description
Begun in the early 1980's, the business that became Ecotour Expeditions was a lumber importing company. We would buy lumber from sawmills in the rainforests of the Amazon and distribute it to factories and lumber outlets here in the United States. But by 1988 we became aware and convinced that rainforest conservation was one of the most important goals of our time, so in 1989 Ecotour Expeditions began to offer the first "ecotours".
At first few people thought that ecotourism would ever amount to more than a tiny niche in the travel industry. But to quote Victor Hugo: "An invasion of armies can be resisted but not an idea whose time has come". Now, as Ecotour enters its sixteenth year, "ecotourism" has matured into a multi-million dollar industry and the term has become a household word. The first ecotours were rugged expeditions into the Amazon and guests had to be prepared for inconvenience and discomfort. Nowadays ecotourists can travel in comfort to some of the most remote corners of the globe.
This fifteen year milestone shows not only that ecotourism has struck a chord with the travelers, but also proves the success of a compelling idea: that small scale nature tours can help support local communities while at the same time helping protect the environment. Though not all trips promoted as "ecotours" meet this standard, mostly the goals of ecotourism are being met. Travelers worldwide are helping local communities gain income while preserving the environment.
