the Lie of Ecotourism

Ecotourism touts environmentally friendly travel, to pristine remote locations. I have a bone to pick with the Ecotourists of the web community. A recent study by a panel of experts shows ecotourism is no more environmentally friendly then regular suitcase travel. The problem illuminated by the panel of experts lies in the greenhouse gases emitted during travel to these remote locations. The catch-22, ecotourism is actually damaging the very environment it intends to protect!
