Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

The Galapagos Islands are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site with over 100 islands. They are a popular travel destination located in the Pacific Ocean, about 1,000 kilometers off the coast of Ecuador. This unique location is famous for its biodiversity and is often called a paradise for nature lovers. The islands possess a wide variety of plants and animals, many of which are not found anywhere else in the world. 

Visitors are crazy about the Galapagos Islands because of their majestic landscapes and rich ecosystems. Key features of the islands include volcanic peaks, original and pure beaches, as well as clear blue waters. While there are only about 30,000 people living on one of the islands, approximately 170,000 tourists visit every year. Many activities occur for visitors to enjoy here, such as snorkeling, hiking, and bird watching. 

The annual number of tourists supports the local economy significantly, but it is urgent to protect the natural beauty. The government of the Galapagos Islands is trying to develop sustainable tourism practices. Travelers have to obtain a TCT (Transit Control Card) to have special permission, as access is carefully controlled to preserve the delicate ecosystems.
