The aim of this research is to assess and present an extended definition of the concept of ecotourism and how this sustainable and alternative kind of tourism can be developed on the small island of Leros.

Ecotourism is not nature tourism or adventure tourism, but a unique form of tourism that has become very popular, increasing the knowledge of the fragility of the environment, encouraging better informed authorities and visitors. Recognition that there is a close relationship between good ecology and good economy is key.

However, instead of the main environment of the island and the social characteristics of the community, an effort has been made to find out to what extent the educational level can help in this endeavor; how Educational planning can leverage sustainable growth and shape attitudes. The main research questions the attitudes of visitors, on the island of Leros, their thoughts on sustainable tourism development is gathered.
