The report identified the need for sustainable development and conservation of resources, which gave birth to the idea of ecotourism. Eco tourism as defined by Ceballos-Lascurain (1987) is travelling to relatively undisturbed or uncontaminated natural areas with the specific objective of studying, admiring and enjoying the scenery and its wild plants and animals, as well as any existing cultural manifestations (both past and present) found in these area. In 1993, Blangy and Wood defined it as responsible travel to natural area that conserves the environment and sustains the well being of local people.
The travel industry with the current impact on the global climate change has to be managed. International tourism heavily depends on the available means of transport in the area, and as much as the local authorities want to promote tourism, they feel the urge to develop sustainable travel plans that can aid and protect the tourism sector at the same time. Studies have revealed that the availability of the transportation system strengthens the base of international tourism. The locals benefit from the sector. But it is being noted that considering the sustainability of the communities, the travel sector has to be sustainable, with minimal impact on the climate.

It provides the opportunity to the poor to gain economic strength and other livelihood benefits.

However two terms; pro poor tourism and sustainable tourism may overlap.
However, as a result of the various definitions and concepts of ecotourism as discussed above, in this study, the definition of ecotourism will adopt the definition suggested by IUCN and accepted by MOCAT.
