A significant restraint for the ecotourism market is the lack of infrastructure and resources in certain regions. Developing and maintaining ecotourism destinations requires significant investment in infrastructure, such as eco-friendly accommodations and transportation, which can be a challenge in less developed areas.
Another restraint is the potential negative impact of mass tourism on fragile ecosystems and local cultures. As ecotourism becomes more popular, there is a risk of overexploitation and degradation of natural resources, as well as cultural commodification. It is important for stakeholders in the ecotourism industry to balance growth with sustainability to ensure long-term success.
