Top Five Destinations For Ecotourism | IndependentTraveler.com

WHAT MAKES A GOOD TOURIST DESTINATION?

Many of us love to travel. Some of us live to travel. Food, adventure, shopping and sightseeing are some of the main goals of a typical tourist. Revenue from tourist activities is vitally important to many countries.

Sadly, a large number of tourist attractions involve the use of animals. Many activities, such as the use of animals in circus-style animal shows and as photography props, cause extreme suffering. And wild animals are captured from the wild for certain activities, threatening their populations in the wild.

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

What do our children or we learn from watching a wild elephant balancing on two legs, or patting a wild tiger that is constrained by chains? How does a photograph of us riding an elephant or holding a wild monkey enrich our lives? The truth is, these things do not have a significant impact on us. But it would make a significant positive impact on the animals if we choose not to support such animal exploitation. If we chose eco-friendly and animal-friendly ways to spend our time on holiday!
