As explained in the chapter, defining a typical ecotourist has challenged a variety of researchers and organizations. While it is generally concluded that ecotourists are well-educated and well-traveled international travelers, it is difficult to document a specific profile. Certainly many ecotourists are young, inexperienced, and travel within their own country to see nature-based sites.
