Article 5 states that "Local populations should be associated with tourism activities and share equitably in the economic, social and cultural benefits they generate, and particularly in the creation of direct and indirect jobs resulting from them." Considering nature-based tourism from a sustainability perspective will inevitably take us to the concept of ecotourism, which can be seen as a normative sub-category of nature-based tourism. Donohoe and Needham (2006) reviewed 42 definitions and conclude that ecotourism is characterized as nature-based, preservative, educative, sustainable, responsible and ethical tourism.
