For those who are thinking about presenting some of the facts on ecotourism, you may wan to think about describing the power of eco-tourism. It really can make or break an community, but you will also need to state that it is truly the local people who make eco-tourism to work. You will want to make sure that they all understand that it is not about entertainment or feeling good about yourself (even though there are some personal side effects), you will need to tell them that it is a proper way to deal with the common economical and ecological issues that tend to arise.
Keep in mind that there are going to be a lot of people who look at you like they are puzzled or confused, however, you will need to take you time to discuss and teach others about this topic, however, you will also find that it is very important that you learn how to get your audience's attention and maintain it. To teach others you will need to find out the things that bother than and learn how to work through the issues.
You will need to make sure that you stress how serious eco-tourism is. You will need to make sure that you get them to understand both the pros and cons to eco-tourism. There are some bad side effects and you need to get them to understand how you end up with negativity. This way you can get others to believe in the cause without hiding any information from them.
Above all you need to avoid preaching. You need to tell others about the concept, but you can't make the decision for them. This is something that people need to be willing to give participation with.
