Reflections on Establishing South Africa's Ecotourism legislative System

Ecotourism has developed extensively in recent years. Ecotourism is the developing direction of tourism industry in our country. Irrational exploitation has devastated the ecotourism resources. Confronted with the up surging ecotourism market, we are lacking in corresponding legislative control and legislative link. Forming the legal system of ecotourism as soon as possible and having laws to abide by can ensure the sustainable development of ecotourism in our country. Section 24 of the Constitution attempts to achieve two objectives. The first objective of this section is to guarantee that everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health and well-being. Secondly in subsection 24(b) it is presumed that there is a specific mandate placed on the State (including municipalities) to take the necessary steps to consummate the aim in subsection 24(a). In this context aiming to reach sustainability means an integrated holistic effort in which all participants are present: hosts, government, business entrepreneurs, natural resources and environment in a related equal importance in which all human groups think, decide, compromise, act assume related responsibilities.Section 24 of the Constitution attempts to achieve two objectives.
