ecotourism

/ˌikoʊˈtʊɹɪzəm/ noun C2 ✓

Responsible (sustainable) travel to natural areas supporting the fauna, flora, and local economy.

Word Origin A blend of eco- from Greek oikos 'house, habitat' and tourism from Greek tornos 'lathe, circle' (a tour is a circular journey). So ecotourism is literally 'habitat-touring,' travel that respects the home of nature. The eco- root also gives us ecology (study of the home) and economy (management of the home). Tourism comes from the idea of going around in a circle, like a lathe turning.
