Answer 1

Forty years of age and up.

Answer 2

This finding suggests to ecotourism operators that, at least at this time, travelers may not be making their purchase decisions on the basis of operations following environmentally responsible practices. Since this may change in the future, operators are best advised to be able to act responsibly towards the environment and local cultures and communicate this to tourists in the hopes that, over time, traveler purchase decisions will be directed by this criterion.
