Ecotourism is attracting a generation of travelers in search of meaning, nature and sobriety. At the crossroads of sustainable, local and digital tourism, ecotourism is transforming travel practices and creating new professions. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you understand it all.
Ecotourism differs from conventional tourism in that it is rooted in respect for the environment, local populations and heritage. It implies more responsible travel practices: sustainable accommodation, eco-friendly transport, local activities, etc.
According to Atout France, nearly 40% of French people have already taken an ecotourism trip in 2023. This figure rises to 60% among 18-35 year-olds, proof that the trend is becoming firmly rooted in sustainable practices.
The profile of tourists has changed. Today, 3 out of 5 travelers prefer immersive, local experiences, far from mass-produced tours. This includes farm stays, eco-friendly B&Bs and artisanal activities.
According to Booking, 73% of travelers want their choices to have a positive impact on the places they visit, a figure that is constantly rising.
Tourists are looking for committed players, reliable labels and sincere communication. The role of the community manager in tourism is becoming central to promoting these eco-responsible offers while avoiding greenwashing.
