Impact
Social/Cultural Impact
Cultural impacts of ecotourism could be based on four criteria: commodification element, culture affecting social change, cultural knowledge and cultural patrimony elements.
The impacts of tourists on the society and culture of a host country is related to the type of tourism, the nature of the tourism activity and the economic and social structures of the host country.
The involvement of local people (community) could generate a sense of pride and a form of ownership, and simultaneously act as a buffer against certain sources of investment outside the local area.
Environmental Impact
Antagonistic impacts were noted in cases where certain animals or species that are more sensitive altered their behaviour and activities to completely avoid contact with visitors, resulting in potential long-term existence.
Economic Impact
-
For example, divers at a marine park spend money on lodging, food, and other goods and services, thereby providing employment for local and non-local residents. These positive economic impacts can lead to increased support for the protected areas with which they are associated.
