Ecotourism – is this the future?

What is ecotourism? A
Ecotourism is about providing holidays to places which are often
endangered and isolated. The holidays are designed to have a
limited impact on the local environment and to educate tourists
about conservation.
Egypt is developing ecotourism to protect the environments along ........................................

the Red Sea coast. Tourists can stay in hotels built of environmentally
friendly natural materials. When tourists go diving, they are taught B
how to avoid damaging the fish and keeping the special coral reefs safe.
C
Madagascar is famous for its ecotourism and wants to protect its
ecosystem (the animals and plants in its environment). 80% of the . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .............

animals, and 90% of the plants that live there don’t exist anywhere else
in the world. Lemurs, for example, only live in Madagascar.
The Galapagos Islands in Ecuador are famous for the unique animals,
such as the giant turtles which live there. Ecuador makes sure that . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ......

tourism is sustainable. Only a limited number of people can visit the

islands each year, so the animals and their environment are safe. D

The Komodo National Park in Indonesia is a popular ecotourism

destination. Much of Indonesia’s endangered wildlife, including the
Komodo dragon, can only be found here. The National Park is also
famous for its beach with pink sand.

a The water in Venice is destroying the city.
b Venice has too many visitors and this is a problem for the city.
c The local people want the Council to stop visitors coming to the city.

A popular problem!
Venice is famous for being a city with many canals, colourful carnivals, amazing plazas and historic
buildings. However, the city is a victim of its own beauty.Venice has a population of only 55,000,
but the city is visited by twenty million tourists every year. This tourism creates a lot of jobs for the
local population, but is also causes many problems.
Many of the 59,000 tourists a day enjoy riding on boats along the canals, but the large cruise ships
can damage the historic buildings. The narrow streets can be very crowded and it is difficult for local
people to move around the city.
The local council are trying to find a solution which keeps both the tourists and local residents
happy. They are also trying to encourage tourists to visit other beautiful sites around Venice.
