Document Summary
Clearly demonstrates a difference between ecotourists and general travellers. Some believe we need to move beyond basic classifications and that. Tourists expect an indivisible natural world made up of both human and animal components. But unless they are unusually lucky this is not what tourists find on the organized safari. There are different classes/categories of ecotourists for particular activities. Knowing the level of ecotourist specialization is important for park planning and management. Sharpley argues there"s too much variability in socio-demographic and psychographics among various studies in profiling ecotourists. Others argue there is a difference between ecotourists and mass tourists o however ecotourists are not a homogeneous group.
