Eco-tourism is the attainment of ecologically sustaining activities for the tourism industry, they call it sustainable tourism or green tourism. While Turks and Caicos Islands may not fit all the technical definitions of green, the Turks and Caicos Islands have set aside over 33% of its entire land and sea regions for preservation purposes: National Parks, Natures Reserves, Sanctuaries and Protected Areas. The world’s largest biodiversity wetland reserve – Ramsar – accounts for 1/3 of East Caicos, ½ of Middle Caicos and ¼ of North Caicos.
