Eco City Tours in Cities is responsible travel to these areas that strive to be low impact (as an alternative to mass petrol tourism).

Its purpose is to educate the traveler; provide funds for ecological conservation; directly benefit the economic development and political empowerment of local communities and foster respect for different cultures and for human rights.

Since the 1980s eco tourism has been considered a critical endeavor by environmentalists, so that future generations may experience destinations relatively untouched by human intervention.

Several university programs use this description as the working definition of ecotourism.

Generally, ecotourism focuses on personal growth and environmental responsibility. Ecotourism typically involves travel to destinations where cities can be less damaged during our stay there.

One of the goals of ecotourism is to offer tourists insight into the impact of human beings on the environment, and to foster a greater appreciation of our habitats

Responsible ecotourism includes programs that minimize the negative aspects of conventional tourism on the environment and enhance the cultural integrity of local people.

Therefore, in addition to evaluating environmental and cultural factors, an integral part of ecotourism is the promotion of recycling,energy efficiency,water conservation, and creation of economic opportunities for local communities.

For these reasons, ecotourism often appeals to environmental and social responsibility advocates.
