  Ecotourism has emerged as a strategy for combining development with conservation in the developing world. This work examines the advocacy of tourism as sustainable development in a range of NGOs. It argues that ecotourism as a development strategy ties the fate of the poorest people on the planet to localized environmental imperatives.
