Activity 6:
Suggested answers:
To some extent, the answer is yes. The money

from ecotourists may be used to preserve nature.
However, the local people have to use up their
resource (such as energy sources, food and
water) to provide good service for tourist. More
tourists mean more vehicles, more water and
food consumption, and more waste. Even though
the discharge of waste and consumption of
nature resources by tourists are minimised, air,
water and noise pollution is unavoidable.
