What is ecotourism? It came from a British magazine's comment section, but I believe it is tourism to see a rare animal featured on a Nature-ish show.
The article starts off with a speech made by Sir David Attenborough, about ecotourism. He mentioned that for a few environments, it was a great thing. However, when asked about others, he was hard pressed.
It sure is tough to face the irony that your life's work in nature-ish programs could lead to the destruction of nature.
However, the commenter mentions that tourism can always be good, if it is done with thought and care. And yes, that is one of the more better ways to do it. Still, do you really need to see those rare animals? Isn't visiting a completely different continent enough?
