Expert Solution
Step 1

Ecotourism means responsibly travelling to the natural areas in a view to preserve local habitats.

 

The talk of sustainable development and green economy is set to be alternative to the growth and development perceived otherwise.

When we think about these issue we need to sacrifice growth many of time. The whole purpose of adding these concept to current understanding of growth and development is to be a little more sensitive towards nature and environment which if not paid attention will have negative effects in the future.

Death due to pollution, extinct species, different diseases caused by foreign carrier (which can be insects and plants) are all the dangers which are seen time and again in the countries.
