Ecotourism Minor

Ecotourism is responsible travel that supports biodiversity conservation, builds environmental and cultural awareness and respect, and contributes to local economic and social development. The Ecotourism minor combines multidisciplinary knowledge and skills related to ecotourism, protected area management, outdoor recreation, environmental science, and business administration. The Ecotourism minor seeks to empower those who plan and implement ecotourism-related activities to see themselves as responsible hosts and stewards of earth’s most incredible natural resources.
