Topic: Ecology



Expert: Richard Ochs
Date: 7/22/2008
Subject: echo tourism

Question
what is the main purpose of echo tourism?why is it necessary?

Answer
I assume that you mean "eco-tourism", and its primary purpose (like any other industry) is to make money.  It isn't necessary in any way, but it is a way for people to make money by preserving their natural resources as opposed to harvesting them and selling them.
