Analysis of the Ecological Efficiency of Ecotourism

The results of environmental monitoring indicate several persistent challenges in the development of ecotourism. The level of environmental certification of tourism infrastructure remains at only 12 percent, waste management systems have not yet been fully established along ecotourism routes, and local communities receive merely 23–28 percent of ecotourism revenues. Despite these limitations, ecotourism continues to serve as an important instrument for environmental conservation, biodiversity protection, and sustainable regional development.
