However, some factors such as insufficient support organization at ecotourism destinations like scarce air, road, and connectivity to numerous ecotourism terminuses and low accessibility and limited availability of hygienic and quality restaurants, hotels, and food outlets at the destination can restrain the growth of the market. the domination of few tourist guides and inadequate accessibility of specialized trained guides can hinder the market growth. The rising inclination of people towards eco-travel to understand a foreign culture and the way of living to disrupt the monotony of regular life can create an opportunity for the market growth.
