“…Within the realm of tourism, ecotourism closely aligns with the principles and approach of sustainable tourism (Fennell & de Grosbois, 2023). The International Ecotourism Society (The International Ecotourism Society, 2019) defines ecotourism as responsible travel to natural areas, emphasising environmental conservation, the well-being of local communities, and active interpretation and education.…”

This study investigates the pivotal role of non-formal education in enhancing ecotourism resource management, aiming to elevate contemporary practices in the field. Utilizing a comprehensive methodology involving focus group discussions and expert interviews held at Parambikulam and Periyar Tiger Reserves of Kerala, India, the research employs latent content analysis to extract critical elements. The identified components of non-formal education programmes—education, awareness and interpretations—underscore their multifaceted nature within (eco)tourism destinations. Beyond unveiling strategies, the study scrutinises gaps in community interventions and their alignment with global mandates like the post-Aichi Target and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Urging immediate action from policymakers, administrators and stakeholders, the research advocates for incentive-based mechanisms aligning with post-Aichi Target and SDG objectives. The study emphasises community-based non-formal education programmes foster community involvement and encourages social and cultural interventions. Significantly, these programmes contribute to biodiversity conservation by disseminating locally generated, authentic information. This research underscores the transformative potential of incentivized, community-driven, non-formal education, emphasising its crucial role in advancing local communities and global sustainability goals.

“…In the 1960s, the ecological movement, which focused on environmental protection, the prevention of environmental pollution and energy saving, made individual and social sensitivity to environmental issues evident [1,2]. In this context, the understanding of sustainability in particular has been adopted, and the principles of protection and use have been given great importance [3]. The environmental problems that emerged as a result of the increasing demand for mass tourism and global tourism movements since the 1970s have led to the idea of sustainability in the tourism sector [4].…”

The tourism sector operates intensively in the ecological environment with tourist guides, who are accepted as the guiding recreation leader within the scope of outdoor activities. From this point of view, it is aimed to determine the ecotourism perception and environmental awareness of tourist guides by determining the criteria affecting the perception of ecotourism. Within the scope of the research, 336 answers were obtained by asking questions to the professional tourist guides who are actively operating throughout Turkey. In the light of the research data, mostly positive relations were determined by the correlation analyses for the environmental awareness dimensions. In the regression analyses conducted to explain the relationship between the perception of ecotourism and the awareness of ecotourism, it was concluded that the effects of the awareness and ecotourism knowledge dimensions on the economic contribution of ecotourism were significant. This research, aims to contribute to the relevant scientific field via the evaluation of environmental awareness and ecotourism awareness in a sustainable context. In the context of environmental sustainability, the research tries to eliminate the lack of knowledge in the relevant literature by revealing the ecotourism awareness and approaches of tourist guides. In addition, it is recommended to conduct more research on the subject by drawing attention to the relationship between the ecological environment and tourism sustainability.
