Description

Ecotourism was developed as a measure of conservation within international conservation organizations such as IUCN - the World Conservation Union. IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) held the Forth World Conference on Protected Areas in Caracas in 1992, where a goal to set aside more than 10% of land on the earth as protected areas was adopted. However, protected areas in developing countries are suffered from shortage of budget, because of accumulated foreign debts. Ecotourism, consequently, comes to attract attention as a self-financial mechanism of protected areas in developing countries. Since the First Conference on Protected Areas of East Asia was held in Beijing in 1993, many efforts have been made to enhance an ecotourism as a conservation measure in protected areas in East Asia.
