Summary

Introduction

The issue of green tourism emerged because of some problems such as market saturation of destinations offering conventional products, increasing global warming that has become a global issue, awareness of tourism and tourism industry actors, as well as sustainable tourism development which is including tourist satisfaction, environmental conservation and welfare of local community (France, 1997) which can be seen in three folding or three pillars (Perlas, 2000). All are involved in carrying out sustainable tourism activities namely government, employers, society (politico-economy-culture). Each of these pillars has an interest in the sustainability of the business or practices that occur in the world of tourism. Ecotourism essentially emphasizes on some characteristics of promoting positive environmental ethics, not destroying natural resources, concentration on intrinsic rather than extrinsic values, ecocentric oriented rather than anthropocentric, must be beneficial to wildlife and environment in terms of science, economics, and politics. It should be an experience in the field of the natural environment, can be a place for education and appreciation, and has a high dimension of cognitive and affective experience (Page and Dowling, 2002: 26)
