One of the most rapidly growing industries is tourism, and within this sector eco-tourism is becoming more and more popular. Green travelling is important because areas affected by normal tourism can suffer. It can affect the country’s political, economic, natural and cultural environment. Eco-tourism helps to prevent a land from becoming dependent on purely the tourist business and destroying the ecosystem. It also protects the area’s natural habitats, the environment and the local culture. The following places offer a wide range of eco-friendly sightseeing activities.
