Ecotourism is not a new concept. For years, countries have worked to make their most visited areas safe for tourists and the animals that live there. Saving the planet is a trend here to stay and people are increasingly concerned about the future of the world. Travelers choose to spend money on places that align with their beliefs and values. For many, this includes maintaining and preserving wildlife for generations to come. This surge in ecotourism forces countries to examine their policies and create programs to promote it.
More than 40 percent of the Seychelles territory is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO; 115 islands make up the archipelago known worldwide for picturesque beauty. Travelers want to see the wildlife preserved by the country so it can be experienced by many. One of the best ways the country keeps this island pollution free is most are not urbanized and don’t have traffic jams and cars emitting harmful gases. The Seychelles go to great lengths to protect the 150 species of endemic plants that grow and thrive.
The best practice is education. The Seychelles offers many educational expeditions that explore the biodiversity of the islands while also teaching tourists how best to treat the land. These educational expeditions create a world where visitors can visit and be mindful of their actions and practices.
