Eco-Tourism

Definition

Eco-tourism is responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people. This form of tourism focuses on minimal environmental impact, providing financial benefits for conservation, and respecting local cultures. While not directly a crypto term, digital assets and blockchain technology can support eco-tourism initiatives by enabling transparent funding for conservation projects, tracking carbon offsets, or creating tokenized incentives for sustainable practices. It offers a means to verify the genuine ecological impact of tourism activities.
