The key component of ecotourism in Botswana is responsibility. As stated by the Botswana Ecotourism Best Practices Guidelines Manual, tourism depends on environmentally aware tourists, as well as preserving natural resources for Botswana's future generations.
Ecotourism can help raise funds for conservation awareness. Ecotourism also allows people who live within close proximity of conservation areas to benefit from profits by being included in the development of national parks.
Ecotourism in Botswana uses recycled materials and local building materials to develop their accommodations for tourists. This practice minimizes the impact that humans make on the environment.
