People throw around terms such as “eco tours”, “eco tourism”, “adventure tourism” and “adventure travel tours” all the time. But what do they really mean? Are they simply any kind of adventure travel tours, such as Belize cave tubing? Can you stay at a 5 star hotel during eco tours, or can you only sleep in tents or campers under the stars?

Can you drive motor vehicles during your tour, or must you only travel by foot, on horseback, on bike or via canoe? Must you eat at small taco stands along the side of the street, or can you dine at fancy restaurants? What if the fancy restaurants are locally owned?
