Eco-tourism is more than a catch phrase for nature loving travel and recreation. Eco-tourism is consecrated for preserving and sustaining the diversity of the world's natural and cultural enivironments. It accommodates and entertains visitors in a way that is minimally intrusive or destructive to the environment and sustains and supports the native cultures in the locations it is operating in.

Educating about environment around you and preserving the natural luxuries and forest life, that's what Anammalais Eco Tourism Corporation (AETC) is involved in. AETC organises tours typically defined as travel to destinations where flora, fauna and cultural heritage are the primary attractions.
