Ecotourism in the Amazonas has being noted as a form of local inhabitants to earn a living by keeping unspoiled preserved and protected natural areas as a source of income. Ecotourism emerged as an economic alternative for the sustainable development in Amazonia. If well planned, it is capable of minimizing environmental impacts, besides showing a meaningful potential in terms of generating jobs and income. For this reason, federal and state governments are investing in strengthening ecotourism in the region, as a form of not only generating income to the inhabitants but mainly to stimulate the preservation of this valuable natural resource. The tourists as well Amazonia itself end up being rewarded with it.
