Answer Text:
Aspects/Characteristics of Ecotourism
(a) Tourists are guided along marked trails instead of driving to the areas where there are animals.
(b) Telescopic viewing of animals to avoid disturbing animals.
(c) Use of camping sites rather than big tourist hotels so as not to put pressure on resources which animals depend on.
(d) Prohibiting off road driving and travelling on foot.
(e) Allowing particular types of vehicles.
(f) Warning people against throwing cigarette remains on dry vegetation.
Eco-tourism is encouraged by:
-Creating awareness among the local communities to understand and appreciate nature by visiting Game parks.
-The local community directly benefits from income from tourism which provides them with incentive to conserve wildlife.
