Nepal: Eco Trekking

Eco-tourism or Eco-trekking is often defined as a form of tourism with a purpose. Whilst in general terms it means environmentally friendly’ tourism. There is not a universal definition for eco-tourism, and the specific definition as to what this actually means in practice can vary greatly from one country to another. Although it lacks one clear definition, the International Eco-tourism has classified it.
Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and sustains the well as being of local people. In addition, the World Conservation visitation to relatively undisturbed natural areas has low negative visitor impact and provides for the beneficially active socio-economic involvement of local populations.

This means that those who implement and participate in Eco-tourism follow the following principle…

• Minimize negative environmental impacts
• Build environmental and cultural awareness and respect
• Provide a positive experience for both visitors and hosts
• Provide financial benefits and empowerment for local people
• Provide direct financial benefits for conservation
• Support international human rights and labor agreements
• Raise sensitivity to host countries’ political, environmental and social climate

Sustainable Tourism Eco-Tourism

Eco Trekking is often confused with sustainable tourism. Whilst eco-tourism is a form of tourism (in addition to sport, health, culture, and adventure tourism), the concept of sustainable development should be applied to all these forms of tourism. If the principles of sustainability are applied, then the type of tourism can be called sustainable tourism -therefore it can apply to all tourism activities.
