Abstract

In theory, ecolodges create jobs and promote sustainable development for the community from an environmental, cultural and economic point of view. In other words an ecolodge can be generally classified as an accommodation that follows the concept of ecotourism. One of the differences of ecolodges, unlike the normal accommodations, is that they offer the opportunity for travellers to have responsible and constructive experiences. Eco-accommodations can be considered as a holistic experience within the whole surrounding social, cultural and natural environment that can offer new perspectives to guests range from nature or education based travel to adventure travel, from mountain climbing to activities based on regional history and wildlife. The most important factors should be the conservation and enhancing of the whole natural environment and local community that have a privileged position over economic benefits.
