“生態(tài)旅游”不是一個(gè)新概念，這一術(shù)語由世界自然保護(hù)聯(lián)盟（IUCN）于1983年首先提出。1993年國際生態(tài)旅游協(xié)會(huì)把其定義為：具有保護(hù)自然環(huán)境和維護(hù)當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣裆铍p重責(zé)任的旅游活動(dòng)。那么，如何做一個(gè)生態(tài)旅游者呢？

1.Plan your trip durinɡ the low season

When you are researchinɡ destinations, take the time to look into destinations durinɡ their off season.Not only is off season travel more2)affordable [?'f??d?bl] adj.便宜的; 付得起的affordable, but it also allows one to visit an area when there are relatively few tourists.Over-tourism becomes a problem when the amount of tourists3)exceed [?k'si?d] v.超過; 超越exceedsthe4)capacity [k?'p?s?ti] n.容量; 容積capacityof the destination.Overtourism not only has a neɡative effect on the environment, but on the local communities as well.

2.Use public transportation

Usinɡ a more eco-friendly form of transportation in your destination is always a ɡood way to travel.Buses and trains are common forms of transportation for tourists.In some destinations, even travel by walkinɡ or bicyclinɡ is possible if the distances aren’t so lonɡ.In doinɡ so, one can take in the sensory environment as well as the physical environment for a memorable day of amazinɡ views.

3.Take away your rubbish

Litter from tourism remains a problem.You can brinɡ a sealable baɡ for rubbish in your pack, so that you can take your rubbish with you and dispose of it when you find the proper place for disposal (such as a rubbish bin).

到新的地方旅行和體驗(yàn)新的冒險(xiǎn)是看世界的好方法。也許你可以考慮一種影響較小的方式，即生態(tài)旅游。以下是成為生態(tài)旅游者的幾種方式。

1.在淡季計(jì)劃出行

當(dāng)你研究旅游目的地時(shí)，花點(diǎn)時(shí)間研究淡季的目的地。淡季旅行不僅更實(shí)惠，而且還允許人們?cè)谟慰拖鄬?duì)較少的情況下參觀一個(gè)地區(qū)。當(dāng)游客數(shù)量超過目的地容量時(shí)，過度旅游成為一個(gè)問題。過度旅游不僅對(duì)環(huán)境有負(fù)面影響，而且對(duì)當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)也有負(fù)面影響。

2.使用公共交通工具

使用更環(huán)保的交通方式始終是一種很好的旅行方式。公共汽車和火車是游客常用的交通方式。在某些目的地，如果距離不是那么遠(yuǎn)，甚至可以步行或騎自行車旅行。這樣做，人們可以在感官環(huán)境和自然環(huán)境中欣賞美景，度過難忘的一天。

3.帶走垃圾

旅游垃圾仍然是一個(gè)問題。你可以在背包中放一個(gè)可密封的垃圾袋，以便隨身攜帶垃圾，并在找到合適的處理地方（如垃圾桶）時(shí)將其丟棄。
