and experienced travelers looking for a new adventure. Emerging destinations, if
successful, bring development, economic growth, and employment to the area. Funding
for environmental projects or the upkeep of wildlife protection and habitats are examples.
It is possible to construct travel infrastructure that helps both tourists and the environment.
Less ecologically friendly businesses may be phased out as this tourist destination grows,
and local eco-friendly crafts can be encouraged especially it is a rural community.
Workers who may otherwise be motivated to make money in potentially ecologically
harmful jobs might find work in tourism. Wawa Dam also serves as a motivator to
preserve the natural beauty of the river and mountains.
