 Ecotourism in Malaysia

 

Ecotourism in Malaysia

What is Ecotourism? 
"Ecotourism is travel to natural habitats to create an understanding of the cultural and natural history pertaining to the environment, emphasizing care not to alter the integrity of the ecosystem, while producing economic benefits that encourage the preservation of the inherent resources of the environment."

What can I expect when I book a eco-holiday? 
A combination of nature and culture of the country you want to visit, specific habits of a certain area, meet local people and be a part of their daily routine. No need to search for high class resorts, but back to where it all started.

What do I have to do?
The only thing you have to do is enjoy what we offer you while being aware of the environment you are in and take everything what you bring into the jungle, out again. Keep our country clean and preserve the beautiful nature we have in Malaysia!

Are you ecotourist?

  • You take initiative to learn about the culture and nature of the place you visit before you go.

  • You investigate the nature preservation (towards the region and life forms) of the place you visit.

  • You do not bring the life style of the big city into the region you visit.

  • You do not feed or get extremely close to the wild life.

  • You do not collect protected indigenous plants and animal species.

  • You do not buy any products made of endangered animals.

  • You always bring back garbage or try to reduce it.

  • You have a healthy and environment-friendly attitude.

If you say yes to all 8 statements, you are ready for Ecotourism! I
