wildlife tourism
Visiting creatures abroad
Wildlife tourism is travel focused on observing or interacting with animals in their natural habitats—safaris in Kenya, whale watching off Cape Cod, swimming with dolphins in the Caribbean.
The industry ranges from ethical conservation-focused ecotourism to controversial attractions involving captive or exploited animals.
Wildlife tourism has become a major source of revenue for many African nations.
