Abstract

Ecotourism proliferates in many countries worldwide and is considered an attractive solution to meet the needs of the environment and tourism development. Ecotourism development faces various challenges and maintains consistent application of ecotourism principles. Therefore, this paper seeks to analyse the application of ecotourism principles in natural tourism destinations in Indonesia. The principles studied in this paper are the element of conservation, the element of local community involvement, and the element of interpretation according to the definition of The International Ecotourism Society. This paper uses the literature review method to explore data. The literature search database used is Google Scholar. The results showed that not all ecotourism destinations apply the principles of ecotourism. All ecotourism destinations utilise natural and cultural resources. The principle of conservation that is maintained is only found in national parks. Interpretation is the principle that is most often not applied in ecotourism destinations.
