Title Ecotourism and conservation: A Review of Key Issues
Description Ecotourism is a subset of the spectrum of tourism types which make up nature-based 
tourism. Ecotourism is often viewed and promoted as being consistent with conservation 
objectives because it is small-scale with limited ecological and social impacts. In 
contrast, nature-based tourism, because of its larger scale, is often used to promote 
national development objectives rather than conservation objectives. This review of some 
of the key issues of ecotourism and nature-based tourism highlights the complexity of 
using tourism as a tool for conservation.
