Lodging facilities and hospitality within the context of
ecotourism in the
south Red Sea region revolve around developing
eco-lodges
, which differ from traditional hotels. The term "eco-lodge"
is a new tourism industry term used to identify
a nature - dependant tourist facility. Such a facility
is developed and managed in an environmentally sensitive
manner in order to protect its operating environment. It
must be stressed that the most important thing about an
eco-lodge is the quality of the surrounding environment.
Critical issues
would include the nearby
natural and
cultural attractions , the way in which ecotourism is
operated and marketed , and the way in which local
people are involved in the process of developing
eco-lodges. |
