Imagine a vacation in a place of amazing natural beauty. Picture yourself relaxing on a clean beach in
Belize. Picture yourself exploring the desert on a camel in Dubai. Or picture yourself following lions and
zebras in Kenya. Now imagine that you are enjoying these experiences and helping to preserve the
environment. You are protecting wildlife and supporting local communities. Is this too good to be true?
No! These vacations are part of a growing trend in the travel industry. The trend is called ecotourism.
