Keywords:
Ecotourism education, interdisciplinary integration, geographyAbstract
This article explores the multidimensional framework of ecotourism education through the lens of interdisciplinary integration, emphasizing the convergence of geography, biology, pedagogy, and economics. By synthesizing theoretical and empirical perspectives, the study examines how combining these disciplines can enhance students’ ecological literacy, critical thinking, and sustainable development competencies. The paper argues that an integrative approach not only enriches the learning process but also promotes a holistic understanding of environmental systems, tourism management, and socio-economic impacts. Furthermore, the research highlights pedagogical strategies, methodological approaches, and curricular innovations that support the effective implementation of interdisciplinary ecotourism education. The findings underscore the importance of fostering collaborative knowledge construction among learners, enabling them to navigate complex ecological challenges and contribute to sustainable practices in real-world tourism contexts.
