By the beginning of the 20th century, a new form of tourism began to develop. Ecological tourism-the purpose of ecotourism is to help preserve environmental education, nature and local mining. The development of ecotourism in the world is closely related to the creation of a system of natural areas that are subject to special protection – natural reserves, national parks, natural monuments. Today, ecotourism plays an important role in the global tourism industry. According to various estimates, ecotourism now accounts for 10-20% of the world tourism market and is the most rapidly developing sector.
