Abstract
Ecotourists have become popular subjects for research. However, a lack of agreement on the defini-tion of ecotourists continues to challenge progress in research on this group. Different authors fre-quently use different criteria, often mixing both supply-side and demand-side concepts. This study examines the impact of two operational definitions, one using a mix of supply and demand variables, the other using an approach where tourists self-define their identity. These two approaches are tested with the visitors to Taroko National Park in Taiwan. Some significant differences in the profiles of the two groups are observed; the study concludes that any definition of ecotourism should include refer-ence to motivations, activities, benefits sought, and measures of environmental attitudes. Key words: Ecotourists; Tourist profiles; Nature tourism; Taiwan; National Park attitudes, and activities. This definitional confusion can generate controversy about which activities and operations should be deemed to be “true” ecotourism. It also constrains the consistent and comparable quantitative evaluation of the nature and magnitude of the ecotourism market in different lo-

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
