Nature Tourism vs. Ecotourism

NATURE TOURISM
Tourism that features ‘nature’ is generally termed environmental or ‘nature based tourism’; a broad term that includes a range of tourism experiences including adventure tourism, ecotourism, and aspects of cultural and rural tourism, eg. farmstay. Aboriginal culture is included as part of nature based tourism because of its inextricable link with the natural environment.

Nature based tourism is distinguished from other tourism forms by its natural area setting. Ecotourism may include elements of other nature based tourism types such as adventure tourism in which the focus is on the activity, for example, white water rafting or scuba diving.

However ecotourism is also characterised by a number of other features, in particular
• its conservation ethos
• its environmental education and interpretation elements
• its emphasis on ecological sustainability and minimising potential impacts
• ensuring that those natural areas used for ecotourism remain in a conserved
natural state for future generations to enjoy.


Ecotourism is a subset of nature based tourism.


All Tourism

All Tourism
Nature Based Tourism--Area encircling C to B through A
Ecotourism- Area within C to A

Hence Nature tourism is pretty close to ecotourism it focuses more on enjoying and respecting the wildlife and environment without the educational element in ecotourism.

Although nature tourism is pretty close to ecotourism, it focuses more on enjoying and respecting the wildlife and the environment without the educational element in ecotourism. It simply means visiting natural area

DESTINATION LIFE CYCLE: A CASE OF BALI

 AN EXPLORATORY RESEARCH PAPER TITLED DESTINATION LIFE CYCLE: A CASE OF BALI Submitted by: Dr. Kshitiz Sharma , Email i.d.- sharmak23@gmail.com Moutushi Ganguli Sharma Email i.d.- moutushig80@rediffmail.com ABSTRACT Like most products, destinations have a lifecycle (DLC).  In his 1980 article, Butler proposed a widely-accepted model of the lifecycle of a tourist destination.  This is a journey of the destination from beginning to a possible end. This is applicable to almost every destination however stages may reach late or early in Life. This would help policy makers to develop right strategies to develop a destination and make it sustainable. At every stage the tourists profile, their category also changes. Here Plog’s typology would be more suitable to refer. With every stage the tourists and destination features shows variations. Bali has been studied here to understand its emergence, development and further stages. The island of ...

Doctors Prescribe kids to get outside to beat obesity

Childhood obesity is a major national concern in the U.S., with about one third of minors overweight. A vast number of campaigns to reverse this have arisen in the last decade, such as Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign and the NFL’s Play60 campaign. However, the most progressive response is a prescription to take a step back from our modern technology-based society: doctors are now writing “Outdoor Activity” on Rx labels to overweight and obese children. “Outdoor Activity” prescriptions have been successful so far, not only improving youth’s health but also teaching them to love being outside. According to Kay Debrosse, who runs a Massachusetts recreation center, “They love the outdoors more now … They moan and groan when you tell them to get off their computer, but then they don’t want to come back inside.” These prescriptions resonate deeply with parents and patients because they are individually prescribed by a doctor, instilling a more committed attitude toward change. The g...

FORMATION OF CONTINENTS

The earth’ history is 4.5 billion years old when all the continents which we see today were not in this shape & position. Amazingly these continents were close to each other! By 750 million years ago the earth’s mass combined to ‘Supercontinent’. And surrounding this ‘Supercontinent’ there was also an extensive ocean. Roughly 750 Ma (million years ago), the earliest-known supercontinent Rodinia , began to break apart. The continents later recombined to form Pannotia , 600–540 Ma, then finally Pangaea which is “All Earth” in Greek. Then about 200 million years ago the land began to drift apart. It broke into two pieces, · Laurasia – the northern supercontinent- splits in Eurasia and North America · Gondwanaland - the southern supercontinent which consisted § Antarctica, § South America § Africa § India and § Australia. The two large continents continued to break apart into the smaller continents that exist today. Eduard Suess, an Austrian geologist named it ‘Gondwanaland’. The nam...
