Ecotourism must be understood in the perspective of travelling to natural areas with an intention to study about the flora and fauna of the destination (Lascurain, 1987) (Joshi, 2011). Ecotourism is a nature based tourism activity aimed at environmental education coupled with enjoyment and entertainment.
