Nicaragua is a good example of a Latin American country where exists a growing trend of rural community-based tourism.

A way of travelling +  

Responsible tourism is a way of travelling which is more aware and respectful towards the place or country in which you travel, the people you meet and your own habits. It takes into consideration your own culture and that which you encounter. It goes beyond mass group tourism to raise curiosity for the new territory visited.

What is ecotourism for you? +  

There are almost as many terms to describe types of travel as there are travel companies. A couple of buzzwords that you often hear these days are "Eco-Tourism" and "Adventure Travel" . To further confuse the issue there is also "Sustainable Tourism", "Responsible Tourism", "Nature Based Travel", "Green Travel", "Multi-Sport Adventures" and "Cultural Tourism".
