Read the following passage and mark
the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the
following questions from 47 to 52.
Tourism will always have an impact on the places visited.
Sometimes the impact is good, but often it is negative. For
example, if lots of people visit one place, then this can damage
the environment. The question is - how can we minimize the
problems without preventing people from travelling and
visiting places?

The main aim of ecotourism is to reduce the negative impact

that tourism has on the environment and local people. The
idea is to encourage tourists to think about what they do when
they visit a place.
It’s great to talk about protecting the environment, but how
do you actually do this? There are a number of key points.
Tourists shouldn't drop litter, they should stay on the paths,
they shouldn't interfere with wildlife and they should respect
local customs and traditions.

Some people see ecotourism as a contradiction. They say that

any tourism needs infrastructure - roads, airports and hotels.
The more tourists that visit a place, the more of these are
needed and, by building more of these, you can’t avoid
damaging the environment.
But, of course, things aren't so black and white. Living in a
place of natural beauty doesn't mean that you shouldn't
benefit from things like better roads. As long as the
improvements benefit the local people and not just the
tourists, and the local communities are consulted on plans and
changes, then is there really a problem?

In 2002 the United Nations celebrated the “International Year

of Ecotourism”. Over the past twenty years, more and more
people have started taking eco-holidays. In countries such as
Ecuador, Nepal, Costa Rica and Kenya, ecotourism represents
a significant proportion of the tourist industry.
