Eco-tourism has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the global travel industry as more travelers seek meaningful, sustainable, and environmentally responsible experiences.
Rising awareness about climate change, cultural preservation, and environmental protection has encouraged tourists to choose destinations that support local communities and protect nature. Governments, travel companies, and international organizations are also investing heavily in sustainable tourism initiatives.
