Unit 10 - Đọc hiểu & Từ vựng: Ecotourism

Read the text and do the task.

Ecotourism is a growing industry, with many travelers looking for experiences that allow them to explore nature and learn about different cultures while minimizing their impact on the environment. However, there are several problems associated with ecotourism that need to be addressed.

One significant challenge is the impact of mass tourism on local ecosystems and wildlife. As more tourists flock to popular destinations, the increased traffic can lead to habitat destruction, pollution, and disturbances to wildlife populations. Moreover, the drive for profits can lead some tour operators to prioritize business interests over responsible and sustainable practices. This can result in the exploitation of local communities, cultures, and resources, often without regard for the long-term consequences. Marketing materials such as brochures and advertisements can also contribute to the challenges of ecotourism. These materials often portray an idealized version of the destination, ignoring the environmental and social issues that may be present. Furthermore, a lack of awareness among tourists about the impacts of their travel and the need to follow responsible practices can exacerbate these problems. Finally, ecotourism can generate a lot of waste, such as plastic water bottles and packaging from food and souvenirs.

To address these issues, it is important for hosts and tourists to be aware of the impacts of ecotourism, and for tour operators to prioritize responsible and sustainable practices that respect the environment and local communities.
