Abstract

The main purpose of this chapter is to highlight the global implications of ecotourism in emerging economies. In the recent past, the tourism industry has become a growing segment of the economy with an impressive expansion potential. Nevertheless, ecotourism in emerging economies establishes a great interdisciplinary research interest. Ecotourism has become extremely popular and highly beneficial on development of emerging economies. The definition of ecotourism is very complex and cannot be compressed in pure theory. Its practical implications are extremely heterogeneous. Ecotourism fundamentally contributes to nature conservation and improvement of livelihoods particularly in rural areas. The original approach provides a complex empirical analysis based on certain emerging economies, i.e. Poland, Brazil, India, China, Russia, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria in the turbulent context of the global financial crisis.
