Ecotourism is the utilization of natural resources as a source of income. Some examples of this that we experienced in Costa Rica are the hanging bridges in the rainforest, rainforest and volcano hikes, farm tours, and touring the Bribri indigenous reservation. All of these activities require little investment from the country, as they are all naturally occurring, but they bring in a good income from tourists. Utilizing natural resources like this is a good strategy to help the economy in tourist areas in many countries.
