Abstract
This research project is a qualitative analysis on the ethical consideration of ecotourism businesses, their impacts, and their outcomes from the lens of entrepreneurs and their customer base’s interactions with their environment. Ecotourism is being defined as tourism and outdoor activities with a focus of immersion and observation of natural environments. It is important to be accurate with the use of this description as not all outdoor activities qualify. Using this definition, qualitative research, and literature review, the purpose of this analysis is to determine how entrepreneurs have influenced environmental change, and when this change is appropriate.
