Because of the growing universal importance of ecologically sustainable eco-tourism, and in line with the udrecommendation of the Stockholm Conference this research identifies and analyses the environmental components udof tourism in Jordan. The objective is to discern the most significant environmental elements that constitute Jordan’s udeco-tourism and how each of these elements shapes tourist attractions while managing ecological balance. To udachieve this objective the researcher adopted an empirical and analytical approach by conducting field visits to udidentify the basics of the environment involved which was recorded in eighteen illustrations. Main findings of the udstudy demonstrate that ecotourism crucially influences the future of Jordanian tourism as reflected by initiatives udtaken by the Jordanian Tourism Development Agency to promote Jordanian ecotourism all over the world udespecially through the Arab Gulf Union. In this vein the study puts forward several recommendations to enhance the udecological sustainability of Jordanian ecotourism including widening the reserve area between Alghor and the semi- udGhor mountains, and alleviating population pressures on the sites’ natural resources.
