Ecotourism is a naturally friendly kind of tourism that many people like, and develops quickly. Apart from benefits of ecotourism like partially protecting environment and landscape, and creating jobs for the local people, it also has some popular problems. Waste left by ecotourists after the tour causing environmental pollution can be mentioned here first. It can be food remaining, food containing bags and single use plastic items. In addition, careless ecotourists may cause forest fire by cigarette stubs or cooking fire, which threatens the safety of ecotourists themselves and the environment. The main reason is that the knowledge of ecotourists and local people are insufficient. They haven’t understood their role in developing a sustainable ecotourism. To solve this, laws and rules must be issued, and ecotourists must be aware of the problems. Bad behaviors and habits must be eliminated when visiting an ecotourism area. |
Du lịch sinh thái là một loại hình du lịch thân thiện với thiên nhiên được nhiều người ưa thích và phát triển nhanh chóng. Ngoài những lợi ích của du lịch sinh thái như góp phần bảo vệ môi trường và cảnh quan, và tạo công ăn việc làm cho người dân địa phương, còn có một số vấn đề phổ biến. Chất thải do khách du lịch sinh thái để lại sau những chuyến tham quan gây ô nhiễm môi trường có thể được đề cập ở đây trước tiên. Nó có thể là thực phẩm thừa, túi đựng thức ăn và các sản phẩm nhựa sử dụng một lần. Ngoài ra, những khách du lịch sinh thái bất cẩn có thể gây cháy rừng với tàn thuốc lá hoặc lửa nấu ăn, điều này đe dọa đến sự an toàn của chính những khách đi du lịch sinh thái và môi trường. Lý do chính là hiểu biết của những khách đi du lịch sinh thái và người dân địa phương là chưa đủ. Họ chưa hiểu được vai trò của họ trong việc phát triển du lịch sinh thái bền vững. Để giải quyết điều này, pháp luật và quy định phải được ban hành và khách du lịch sinh thái phải nhận thức được vấn đề. Những hành vi và thói quen xấu phải được loại bỏ khi đến khu vực du lịch sinh thái. |

Friendlier Footprints
Providing five-star luxury in the middle of a treasured wilderness without damaging the environment might not be easy, but it is far from impossible. The King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest proves that if enough care and attention is taken, the task is within the reach of any tourist provider.
Unlike many other hotel building projects no trees were cut down and no land was wasted in order to build it. The Lodge does not have a permanent location but sits on a floating barge towed into the sea bay in May, where it anchors till September. Those wishing to stay in one of its seventeen rooms must access it by boat or seaplane. Each guest staying at the Lodge is charged 3 % conservation tax, but is rewarded by the chance to sight whales and bears. And since these are the main attractions of the area and of the Lodge, the management is well aware that in order to stay in business they must leave the area untouched.
In 2000, the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native Gitga’at people by whom they were later adopted. Together they work for the benefit of the area. The Lodge recognises the native tribe as the owners of the land, pays the tribe for the use of their land and even supports the native youth and employs the tribe’s people. They, in turn, teach the newcomers about the local culture.
The King Pacific Lodge is one of a growing number of tourism companies that go beyond purely minimising their environmental impact to win the approval of the local community where they establish their business. These companies use eco-friendly solutions to problems, and are careful to restrict their use of resources and protect threatened species. Realising how destructive tourism can be, they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism and leave a lighter environmental footprint.

It is easy to criticize ecotourism as little more than an opportunity to encourage a kind of voyeurism among the rich. There are also valid concerns that it can still do a level of harm that should be avoided. However, more studies indicate that the benefits are far outweighing potential, or real, drawbacks. Where ecotourism has a stronghold, development is kept at bay, and development is what can kill an ecosystem and drive local or indigenous people into poverty. In fact, studies are showing that ecotourism is reducing poverty and doing more to protect local environments and even improve their conditions. Because people who travel to such far-reaching places want to see something as pristine as possible, the drive is on to reclaim any land that had started to degrade. The more there is to see, the more ecotourists will come. But with a tight hand kept on the management of the tourists, the impact on the system is still negligible.
One concrete example of the improvement possible was seen in Fiji, where ecotourism encouraged the protection of a fishery. The fish population had collapsed, but when ecotourism created jobs, such as diving guides, and the protected area gave the populations a chance to recover, local incomes doubled over five years. When the local community can be active in determining its best course and is given proper assistance from the government - in this case, policing of the fishing zones to prevent sea poaching by outsiders - everyone can benefit.
1. It has been indicated that benefits of ecotourism are very promising. 2. The development supports ecosystem and drives indigenous people into wealth. 3. Land that had started to degrade can be reclaimed thanks to ecotourism. 4. The fish population in the protected area in Fiju has recovered. 5. Only the government can benefit when policing the fishing zones to prevent sea poaching. |
