The Journal of Eco-Cultural Tourism, Hospitality Planning and Development is a leading tourism journal, which advances critical understanding of the relationships between tourism and sustainable development. It publishes theoretical, conceptual, and empirical research that explores one or more of the cultural, or environmental aspects of the subject. Critical views and perspectives are encouraged, as well as new ideas and approaches in relation to the theory and practice linking tourism and sustainability. Ecotourism is responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education. Ecotourism is about uniting conservation, communities, and sustainable travel. Minimize physical, social, behavioral, and psychological impacts.
