BUKIT LAWANG (ECOTOURISM )
Ecotourism is entirely a new approach in tourism. Ecotourism is a preserving travel to natural areas to appreciate the cultural and natural history of the environment, taking care not to disturb the integrity of the ecosystem, while creating economic opportunities that make conservation and protection of natural resources advantageous to the local people.
In short, ecotourism can be categorised as a tourism programme that is - "nature based, ecologically sustainable, where education and interpretation is a major constituent and where local people are benefited."
all this together can be called ecotourism. If a travel does not satisfy any one of these constituents, then it is not called a real ecotourism venture.
Since ages, nature worship and the conservation ethics have been an inseparable part of indian thought and traditions. Traces go back to ancient civilisations of india, when people used to nurture the philosophy of the oneness of life. The indian tradition has always taught that, humankind is a part of nature and one should look upon all creation with the eyes of a love and respect.
