A Study on the Vitalization Program of Ecotourism

Ecotourism is believed as a fairly new concept in our country. The concept of ecotourism can be defined as follows; it is to tour wonder, beauty and rareness of ecosystem which natural and cultural heritage has. Western countries have already known its importance and developed this field, so that our country should accept various marketing concepts in order to develop, sell, pervade a new product like a ecotourism program. To get this goal, we need to plan and control all kinds of tourism resources toward satisfying natural structure, process of ecosystem, and needs of tourism. It is important that people should remember not to conquer the nature through ecotourism, but to enjoy the environment of the nature and to keep using it for next generation.
