This is an attempt to suggest a system of ecotourism in Korea through the theoretical approach on ecotourism. Ecotourism is a new type of tourism whose nature is in an interrelationship between conservation and tourism.
In this paper, an ecotourism system is suggested as conceptual framework for the harmonious development, controlled use of environmental resource and ecological conservation in relation of tourism with environment.
The purpose of suggesting the system is to lay the foundation to provide the resident with attractive experiences without environment destruction by tourism through creating the harmonious relation between conservation and development of tourism as well as promoting the effective and integrated study on tourism.
Therfore I propose an inseparable relationship beyond coexisting relationship between conservation and tourism.
It is possible to be understood that tourism is the supreme freedom that can be enjoyed by mankind, when tourism is settled not as a cause of ecological destruction but as a source of profit, and it can establish the harmonious relations with the social and cultural carrying capacity.
In conclusion, ecotourism should be spread widely in the society and understood all over the world as fundamental and essential activity for the harmonious relation between conservation and development of tourism.
