| Abstract | ||||
| Tourism has now become the world's most important civil industry, representing annually a US$ 3.5 trillion activity. The travel and tourism industry employs 127 million workers (one in 15 workers world-wide). Overall, the tourism industry is expected to double by the year 2006. The segment of tourism undergoing the fastest growth is community-based tourism, which includes ecotourism. Community-based ecotourism has been estimated to account for between 10 and 15 percent of all international travel expenditures, and that figure seems to be increasing rapidly. It is quite clear that unless this growth receives careful and professional guidance, serious negative consequences - some of which may have terminal effects -could occur. | ||||
