Because being unspoiled and prolific in wildlife was, in itself, the tourist attraction.<\/p>\n<p>And so, the wave of ecotourism started, with holidays that focused purely on bringing people back to nature. While there were always people travelling to see wetlands, wildlife and many of the Earth\u2019s natural wonders, ecotours were now stretching beyond the bounds of birding clubs.<\/p>\n<p><em>The definition of ecotourism which is the most accepted came in 1983 from a leading Mexican architect and environmentalist called Hector Ceballos-Lascurain.\u00a0<\/em><em style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);\">At the time, he defined ecotourism as\u00a0<\/em><em style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);\">that tourism that involves travelling to relatively undisturbed natural areas with the specific object of studying, admiring, and enjoying the scenery and its wild plants and animals, as well as any exciting cultural aspect (both past and present) found in these areas\u2026the person who practices ecotourism has the opportunity of immersing him or herself in nature in a way that most people cannot enjoy in their routine, urban existances.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, in 1993 Ceballos-Lascurain extended his ecotourism definition and included importance of supporting communities too, saying;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEcotourism is environmentally responsible travel and visitation to relatively undisturbed natural areas, in order to enjoy and appreciate nature (and any accompanying cultural features \u2013 both past and present) that promotes conservation, has low negative visitor impact, and provides for beneficially active socio-economic involvement of local populations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In 1996, this\u00a0definition was adopted by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation Nature). The <strong>International Ecotourism Society<\/strong> was also established in 1990, celebrating tourism destinations that fitted with this definition.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Need_To_Know_about_Eco-Tourism_in_Uganda\"><\/span>What You Need To Know about Eco-Tourism in Uganda:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>1.
