EcoTourism Home > About EcoTour Directory >
EcoTour Directory was launched on 14th May 2004 by two people with a keen interest in both Ecotourism and Sustainable Tourism issues.
Although there are some fantastic ecotourism resources already available on the web there were very few directories that allowed you to easily find and contact ecotour and green holiday businesses directly.
We want our directory to become the online resource for any traveler who is planning or interested in going on an ecotour.
Our aim is also to provide ecotour operators the opportunity to promote their business and ecotourism principles on a level playing field, regardless of their size and marketing budget. We feel that we have achieved this by:
Offering
one standard listing type and giving a dedicated page to each listing.
Allowing
businesses with and without an existing online presence to get listed.
Not allowing
sponsored or pay-for-position placements.
Not taking
commission or referral fees from the ecotour operator.
Every application that is made to our directory is reviewed before it is accepted. Our aim is to only include ecotour operators that demonstrate in some way their commitment to actively contributing to environmental/ social and/ or economic issues relevant to their destinations.
Due to the complexity of the ecotourism concept we do not claim to have tackled all relevant issues. However we do provide a link between the tourism industry and tourists who are equally concerned for the environment and local communities.
We are always welcome to suggestions or offers for partnership in helping to promote ecotourism. If you have an idea please contact us and we will get back to you with a response ASAP. Read more about our current partners

This will then look like this:
Ecotourism Directory - A human edited, non-biased directory of Ecotours and Operators
providing travelers with a list of organisations in order to help plan their
next ecotourism experience.
