生态旅游 (shengtai Luyou)
Ecological tourism
A form of tourism to destinations with rich and unspoiled natural resources. The main attractions are local culture, flora and fauna while the primary concern should be to minimize impacts on the environment.
Popular across the world in recent years, this special kind of tourism offers good opportunities to educate the public about nature conservation. Still under a pilot program in China, it has been listed as one of the effective means to improve the public's environment awareness in the Blueprint of Ecological Conservation for the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2006-2010) issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection in October 2006.
