Ecotourism in ASEAN

New to the idea of Ecotourism? Here's a few points we thought would be of interest so let's share some info!!

Ecotourism promotes the conservation of an environment of a region and it is getting more prevalent in the ASEAN region. The Southeast Asian region is filled with plenty of natural beauty and tourist spots with plenty of flora and fauna that are unique to the ASEAN region. There are a couple of benefits and this has caused efforts placed into developing ecotourism to increase; despite it still being in baby steps of the process.


Ecotourism encourages travellers to reduce the ecological footprint while they travel and allow them to experience the state of nature of their destination. It comes with being aware and immersing themselves into nature and experiencing it in a way that might not be possible without ecotourism.

Documentaries have covered how wonderful or illustrous the rainforests are or how wonderfully blue the oceans can be with the diversity of wildlife present. It gives viewers and travellers a better understanding of why nature is an important part of our daily lives and how some of our actions threaten the balance of nature.

On the other hand, ecotourism doesn't just benefit the travellers as they explore the region, it allows the area to be preserved along with all it's inhabitants. It generates income for those who manage tourist locations and destinations all the while boosting tourism for a specific country in ASEAN.


Ecotourism gives us an opportunity to witness nature in its purest and natural form. There are a lot of activities that can be done in nature and a lot of facilities provide and encourage tourists to go out into the wild. With that, we hope that ecotourism efforts are supported and for nature lovers, you could check out a few ecotourism spots for your next visit!!


Till next time, safe travels everyone!!
