NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ECOTOURISM

SEKOLAH TINGGI PARIWISATA AMBARRUKMO 2018

21-23 FEBRUARI 2018

I. Conference Background
Ecotourism is a form of tourism involving visiting fragile, pristine, and relatively
undisturbed natural areas, intended as a low-impact and often small scale alternative
to standard commercial mass tourism. It means responsible travel to natural areas
conserving the environment and improving the well-being of the local people. Its
purpose may be to educate the traveler, to provide funds for ecological conservation,
to directly benefit the economic development and political empowerment of local
communities, or to foster respect for different cultures and for human rights. Since the
1980s, ecotourism has been considered a critical endeavor by environmentalists, so
that future generations may experience destinations relatively untouched by human
intervention. Several university programs use this description as the working definition
of ecotourism.
Generally, ecotourism deals with interaction with biotic components of the natural
environments. Ecotourism focuses on socially responsible travel, personal growth, and
environmental sustainability. Ecotourism typically involves travel to destinations where
flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the primary attractions. Ecotourism is intended
to offer tourists an insight into the impact of human beings on the environment and to
foster a greater appreciation of our natural habitats.
Responsible ecotourism programs include those that minimize the negative
aspects of conventional tourism on the environment and enhance the cultural integrity
of local people. Therefore, in addition to evaluating environmental and cultural factors,
an integral part of ecotourism is the promotion of recycling, energy efficiency, water
conservation, and creation of economic opportunities for local communities. For these
reasons, ecotourism often appeals to advocates of environmental and social
responsibility.
The term 'ecotourism', like 'sustainable tourism', is considered by many to be an
oxymoron. Like most forms of tourism, ecotourism generally depends on air
transportation, which contributes to global climate change. Additionally, "the overall
effect of sustainable tourism is negative where like ecotourism philanthropic
aspirations mask hard-nosed immediate self-interest.
Motivated from aforementioned ecotourims, Sekolah Tinggi Pariwisata
Ambarrukmo organizes theFirst STIPRAM Conference on Ecotourism 2018 with the
