Proposed Framework of Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal Systems to Ecotourism in Malaysia

Ecotourism is widely recognized for its positive impacts to the environment. Ecotourism is defined as nature-based tourist experiences, which visitors travel to regions for the purpose of appreciating their natural beauty, relaxation and being harmonious with Mother Nature. Ecotourism probably had i...
