International eco-tourism within the context of globalization

Eco - tourism is highly related to the concepts of sustainable development and globalization. Globalization created a suitable international economic environment allowing the concept of eco - tourism to evolve. Made possible by the world wide advances in information technology, telecommunications and transportation, tourism in general became available to the middle classes. As more people began to take advantage of the new found accessibility to travel around the world, the environmental, cultural and economic impact began to take its toll. Eco - tourism arose as a sustainable development alternative to the detrimental environmental, economic, and cultural impacts being felt by developing nations.
