Ecotourism in Thailand

Eco- tourism is currently gaining a lot of momentum in the Thai tourism scenario. It is constantly gaining in popularity especially in the recent years as the entire world is stressing on the preservation of the natural environment. The concept of eco-tourism in Thailand is yet to be properly defined.

Thailand has abundant natural resources and so it has become the favorite destination for most eco- tourists and adventure seekers alike. The Tourism Authority of Thailand along with the private sector has taken various steps to promote eco tourism in Thailand.

In the last ten years activities like whitewater rafting, mountain biking, scuba diving, camping, trekking, rock climbing and bird watching have become increasingly popular in many areas. These are becoming all the more famous as most travelers are paying more attention to those places that are off the beaten track.

Such activities are prevalent in all parts of Thailand especially in the mountainous regions of the South, North and West. But the most popular ones are scuba diving, trekking, mountain biking, and bird watching.
