According to the International Ecotourism Society Ecotourism is now defined as “responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education” (TIES, 2015). Travel used to be thought of as family vacations during summer months, two week vacations from your 40 plus hours a week job or perhaps special occasions: honeymoon, anniversary, birthday. Travel was more of a vacation one took when they could or had the means. It was a well planned trip to famous cities with great hotels and lots to do but… Something is changing is the world of travel; welcome to a new era of ecotourism. Today we see people traveling more and more. We see people traveling as their jobs, for longer periods of times and at much younger ages. With the influence of social media and the interconnection of the world travel has become easier and more frequent. With the millennial generation where we travel and why have become more important factors. Travelers are choosing their locations based on the unique experience, the access to nature and the opportunity to give back. The popularity of Green travel and Eco-travel have grown as reasons why to take that next adventure. This type of travel is making tourism a conscious and caring experience.
