ECOTURISMO
MEN HAVE LIVED FROM THE ADVANTAGE OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
MEXICO IS ONE OF THE COUNTRIES WITH THE GREATEST BIODIVERSITY BECAUSE IT COUNTS WITH DIVERSE TYPES OF HABITATS WITH FLORA AND FAUNA, EACH ONE WITH THEIR OWN CHARACTERISTICS.
THIS QUALITY HAS PLACED MEXICO IN THE VIEW OF INTERNATIONAL NATURE TURISTS WHO LIKE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.
THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACTUAL SITUATION AND POTENTIAL OF THE NATURE AND ADVENTURE TOURISM SEGMENTS STAND OUT AS AN STRATEGIC ACTION, DUE TO THE INCREASING IMPORTANCE THAT THESE SEGMENTS HAVE IN OTHER COUNTRIES, THE GREAT NATURAL RESOURCES AND BIODIVERSITY MENTIONED BEFORE IN MEXICO AND TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL TURISTS THAT MIGHT PARTICIPATE IN THESE ACTIVITIES.
THE SECRETARY OF TOURISM GIVES US THE FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS :
ECO-TOURISM
"THOSE TRIPS THAT HAVE AS MAIN PURPOSE THE INTERACTION, KNOWLEDGE, AND CONTEMPLATIONS OF NATURE AND THE PARTICIPATION IN ITS CONSERVATION. THEY TEND TO BE REALISED IN LITTLE DISTURBED AREAS BY MEN AND USUALLY INCLUDE PRACTICES OF CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING AND AWARENESS"
ADVENTURE TOURISM
"THOSE TRIPS REALISED BY PEOPLE MOTIVATED TO EXPERIMENT CHALLENGES IMPOSED BY NATURE AND TO ACHIEVE GOALS"
