Bonnie Tsui, a writer at the New York TImes Travel section, offers insight to what ecotourists are looking for. According to Tsui’s research ecotourists are,
“looking for two things: access to unique areas that most tourists can never visit, and a way to improve the life of the people and places they do visit.”
Coincidentally travel writers seem to be seeking similar experiences. Ecotourism maybe a way for the travel writer to gain that unique perspective and story.
